As part of the Provincial Government’s continuing effort to enhance math education for students in primary and elementary schools, K-6 Mathematics Bursaries are available for eligible teachers again this year.
The Department of Education’s Mathematics Bursary Program is designed to encourage public school teacher participation in university level courses in mathematics content that is beneficial for the teaching of mathematics in K-6. The program is open for applications three times per year.
