CESBA penned an article on how the PLAR for Mature Students program in school boards can help learners obtain their high school diploma and move forward with their employment goals. The article, entitled Adult Learners: Fast Track Your High School Diploma, features the story of a former Hamilton-Wentworth DSB adult learner and was published in MediaPlanet’s publication Your Career Guide, available in print and online.

New video highlights achievements of Ontario’s Adult Education Strategy
CESBA has produced a short video that showcases Ontario’s regional adult education strategy. The three-minute video highlights the importance of collaboration across regions of the province to support adult learners, including Francophone learners. As the three-year strategy approaches the end of its funding cycle, the video is an opportunity to celebrate what has been achieved to date and to find ways to continue to collaborate together:
