Province Seeks Feedback on Proposed Adult Learning Act Regulations


Marilyn More, Minister of Labour
 and Advanced Education

South Shore residents are invited to have their say on proposed regulations for the Adult Learning Act. The regulations will provide a guide to help administer the act, which was passed in the legislature in December 2010. The regulations are to provide consistency for operations among organizations that teach adult education, including how they qualify to get public funding, what records they must keep, and how they report what they do. They also state adult learner responsibilities and what must be included in the Nova Scotia School for Adult Learning annual report to the minister of Labour and Advanced Education. Consultations are being held throughout the province with adult learning partners. The deadline for feedback is Monday, Oct. 31.
