New, aspiring teachers will no longer have to take extra credit hours in certain subjects in order to get their certification for early or middle years.
The province has announced that it is removing the need to take an extra six credit hours in any of math, social studies, sciences, and English before they can obtain their early or middle-year teaching certification.
They say the change, which comes into effect immediately, brings Manitoba in line with other provinces, while also increasing the number of teachers able to enter the field.
The changes have received approval from the Manitoba Teachers Society.
