New numbers from the province are helping to highlight how bad the flu is in New Brunswick right now and it’s not the only viruses sweeping through the region.
A shortage of teachers and supply teachers in anglophone schools due to illness and other absences has reached "a crisis point," according to the president of the New Brunswick Teachers' Association.
Full details about changes to French education in New Brunswick’s Anglophone school sector won’t be made public for months to come, but the province’s new education minister has been giving a broad outlook.
The New Brunswick Teachers' Association "strongly opposes" the government's "political" decision to accelerate French immersion changes to next fall, and has dropped out of consultations on the matter, saying its trust has been broken.
