French-speaking degree holders take note – the BC Ministry of Education has recently announced funding for an additional 20 prospective French educators for the Bachelor of Education program at UBC Okanagan.
This is a huge opportunity for prospective French educators in this province. Not only are these extra spaces in our BEd program being created for our 2019 intake, but a bursary of up to $1,600 may also be available to help these student offset their tuition costs.
Okanagan School of Education professor Karen Ragoonaden spoke with CBC Radio-Canada to fill in the details.
