EE EE ii ae Ba aii, ub ut i sili iu LL al SEES LC Si a SEE iT a 36 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, February 6, 1990 $15-million in incentive funds School boards across Ontario will have access to $15-million in 1990/91 for pilot projects and the purchase of equipment to support the Government's program to restructure elementary and secondary education, Education Minister Sean Conway announced Jan. 31. "It is crucial that we renew our educational system to ensure that Ontario's young people acquire the skills and resources they need for their future in the emerging knowledge - and technology-based global economy," Mr. Conway said. The $15-million will fund pilot projects and the purchase of equipment in three of the areas announced in the 1989 Throne Speech: Technological Educa- tion, Junior Kindergarten, and Grades 7, 8 and 9. The initiatives are: -- A $12-million Technological Education Equipment Renewal Fund to allow school boards to ac- quire the machines, computers, etc., needed to implement On- tario's new technological studies program, which focuses on five areas: communications, con- struction, manufacturing, ser- vices and transportation. The fund will allocate grants to school boards up to $200,000 per school. -- A $2-million Incentive Fund will help school boards that are beginning to offer Junior Kindergarten programs. The and pilot projects fund will provide grants up to $3,000 per classroom to assist in the purchase of learning equip- ment, such as climbing apparatus and sand and water tables. This initiative supports the Govern- ment's goal of providing Junior Kindergarten programs province- wide by 1994. -- A $1-million per year pilot pro- ject fund will be made available to school boards for a two-year period beginning in 1990/91 to ex- plore innovative learning pro- grams for Grades 7, 8, and 9, when students are making the transition into secondary educa- tion. School boards are being in- vited to submit applications to the Ministry for pilot projects focuss- ing on the needs of the adolescent learner in such areas as cur- riculum development, teaching strategies, and career counsell- ing. Results of these projects will be shared province-wide. "These initiatives are impor- tant steps as we continue to work with educators and trustees throughout the province to restructure Ontario's educational system to make it more flexible and relevant for tomorrow's graduates," Mr. Conway said. The projects announced recent- ly support the Government's $354-million, five-year commit- ment to restructure education in Ontario. Detailed information about the projects is being sent to school boards. gionemoor 399 Queen St. 8, 3 Y Care genet o FF Port Perry, Ont.
