The Graham government is proposing changes to the Education Act that would involve adding a student representative to the District Education Councils. Education Minister Kelly Lamrock introduced the proposal today in the legislature as part of a series of initiatives to overhaul how youth are engaged in government decisions that affect them. A process for selecting student DEC members is currently being developed.
Other initiatives include replacing the New Brunswick Advisory Council on Youth with a more modern approach–and–establishing an online youth forum where young New Brunswickers can post submissions and respond to government proposals.
