Congratulations to APHD's Inlight Research Fellowship award recipients!

Excerpt: "Students and families will have more access to affordable child care spaces and a new centre to train early childhood educators (ECE) at Capilano University (CapU) in North Vancouver. “Access to high-quality, affordable child care is essential, not only for advancing equality but also for strengthening our economy by helping more people pursue an education or find a job,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure. “The new Fulmer Family Centre for Childhood Studies doubles the number of child care spaces on campus, supporting families in the community, while also providing more opportunities for early childhood education students to get the education they need to join the workforce in their chosen field.” The centre adds 74 child care spaces for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, for a total of 143 on-campus spaces. A purpose-built learning space with labs and classrooms is also opening to provide education for 20 additional early childhood educators, bringing the practicum placements for students on campus to 48."

Excerpt: "In response to a number of cases of financial mismanagement by school boards, the Ontario government is taking action to increase accountability and ensure boards are focused on improving student outcomes, so students are able to acquire the skills and knowledge they need to prepare for the jobs of tomorrow. This includes immediate measures to increase oversight at several school boards of particular concern. The province will closely monitor the results of these measures and is prepared to take additional action to ensure all school boards are focused on delivering high-quality education as part of its plan to protect Ontario with a back-to-basics approach that prepares students and our workforce for whatever comes our way."

Excerpt: "Twenty-five school districts will each receive $200,000 to fund the construction of new accessible school playgrounds. “Playgrounds are more than just places to play, they are spaces where children make friends, build confidence and create memories,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Education and Child Care. “The new playgrounds we are announcing today will provide communities throughout B.C. with safe, accessible and inclusive spaces for kids and families to enjoy for years to come.”"

Excerpt: "Beginning in the fall of 2025, a significant number of school divisions will begin a pilot, noted the minister, with full implementation in all school divisions in fall 2026. All students will be screened in early fall for at least three consecutive years between kindergarten to Grade 4. A second screening will take place in the spring, which will be optional for students that meet benchmarks in the fall. School divisions will select from standardized evidence-based screening tools to ensure the program is reliable and can predict students who may be at risk of future reading difficulties including dyslexia."
