"Phase 1" Initiative


What is it?

Fogo Island Central Academy is one of many schools participating in a province wide school reform initiative.

Teachers and school administrators will be piloting changes in Mathematics, Reading, Inclusive Education, Student Mental Health and Wellness, Multicultural and Indigenous Education, and Career/Cooperative Education.

Why is it happening?

In 2017, 82 recommendations were outlined in the report Now is the Time released by the Premier's Task Force on Improving Educational Outcomes. The report was the product of extensive consultation with students, parents, and teachers which included face-to-face & online meetings, as well as written and online submissions from communities throughout the province.

In 2018, following the release of The Way Forward, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador indicated they would proceed with the recommendations provided in Now is the Time. For more information on the 31 recommendations that will be fully implemented in 2018, please see the Education Action Plan.
