The International Language Teacher Bursary has been awarded to 10 public school teachers this year, at $4,200 each.
Awarded annually, provincial officials note the bursary supports teachers who want to develop their skills by taking a language, culture or teaching summer course outside of Canada.
This year, the $42,000 awarded will support teachers participating in programs in Spain, France, Ecuador, Brazil and Mexico.
“Learning a new language opens doors to new experiences and opportunities for Alberta students and is a rewarding part of any student’s educational journey,” said Minister of Education Demetrios Nicolaides. “This money is helping teachers develop their language skills and cultural knowledge which will translate directly into tremendously rewarding learning experiences for Alberta students. Congratulations to this year’s recipients.”
