The province says some 104 full-time equivalent student assistant positions will be added to the K-12 system with $3 million set aside in the recent budget.
The money will also ensure all existing student assistant positions work a minimum of five hours per school day, providing greater work stability according to government.
Today, Minister Howell and NAPE President Jerry Earle discussed the $3 million increase through Budget 2024 for student assistants in the K-12 education system. Approximately 104 full-time equivalent positions will be added to the system. https://t.co/WB0aJZjBNR #GovNLe pic.twitter.com/eUu7MSInqg
