CESBA releases response paper to MAESD’s Adult Education Consultation

CESBA recently released a response to the Adult Education Consultation and discussion paper by the Ministries of Advanced Education and Skills Development, Education, and Citizenship and Immigration. CESBA’s response represents comments provided by school board members collected through a bilingual survey using the 27 questions suggested by MAESD.

The final submission is a rich source of professional insights into the adult education system, with numerous examples of the elements needed to improve the system and make it truly learner-centred and seamless.
