Education Minister Thomas Wells made the annoncement in presenting the Ministry's spending estimates to the Legislature. Mr. Wells said the new program does not reduce the age at which a student may leave school which is now 16. Students placed in other programs, ~ which could include employment, or a combination of school and employment will remain on the rolls of their school until they are 16. Mr. Wells said that the new program is being introduced because of the Ministry's concern for a small, highly select group of 14 and 15-year-olds who do not seem to benefit from existing programs. The new pro- gram, he said, is not an "escape valve" for a parti- cular group of students. but rather reflects a recogni- tion and acceptance of the fact that legitimate learning experiences can occur both in and out of school. "There is no reason why students could not earn credits where part of the credit is earned in school and the other portion earned on the job in actual work rela- ted experience." Students will 'only be placed in the new program after full consideration of their individual case by the local school board place- ment committe, Mr. Wells said this week.
