There’s mixed reaction from the New Brunswick Teachers Association in response to yesterday’s provincial budget.
President Guy Arseneault says education is being protected, to a point, “We’re encouraged that the Gallant government is making education a priority. I am a little disappointed with the loss of 50 teaching positions. It is a cause for great concern.”
He says these cuts are going to have an impact on the students, because the system is already under resourced.
Arseneault says they will have a hard time meeting the growing needs of students, because a reduction of teachers could mean an impact on the various supports offered in the classroom.
