Calgary To Get Modular Schools

Darpan News Desk Darpan, 22 Sep, 2014 02:37 PM
    CALGARY - Alberta Premier Jim Prentice has announced $30.6 million in funding to deal with chronic overcrowding in Calgary schools.
     
    Prentice says student enrolment in Calgary schools is expected to grow by 5,000 students a year for the next seven years.
     
    The money will be used by the Calgary Board of Education to build four starter schools in phases to get students into classes before the entire school is complete.
     
    Prentice says modular classrooms can be built immediately to deal with a pressing need.
     
    He says the starter schools are more efficient and allow students to remain in their neighbourhoods.
     
    He didn't rule out a similar announcement for Edmonton.
