Students in the New Brunswick anglophone education sector will have access to new language-learning opportunities through a new centre of excellence.

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development has launched its sixth centre of excellence, this one focusing on language learning. The centre is one of eight commitments the government of New Brunswick made last July to improve the anglophone education sector.

“As the only officially bilingual province in Canada, it is especially important our students grow up with a strong grasp of both official languages,” said Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Bill Hogan. “We are thankful to our partners and for the excitement everyone has shown in bringing this new centre to life.”
