Program will be used to attract professionals from page 1 and offer 30 more students awards to study psychiatry and psychology at the doctoral level, and social work and speech pathol- ogy at the master's level. The bursary program is one of the major recruiting mechanisms used to attract professionals to the north. Students are offered one year of bursary assistance in exchange for one year of practice in the north. "The North has historically experienced problems with recruit- ing and retaining professionals," said Chris Ward, Minister of Education. "The expansion of the bursary program is one step. However, we aren't stopping there. Together, our ministries and north- em community agencies will be looking at a cooperative planning and recruiting method in the short term. The longer term includes a study of the issues to develop improved methods of recruiting and retaining professionals." Other features of this model ensure that linguistically appropri- ate services are available. In desig- nated areas, services will be offe- red in French. In addition, an inter- ministerial administrative structure will coordinate program develop- ment and monitor program opera- tion in cooperation with local com- munity agencies. The Northern Initiatives for Children with Special Needs will be funded through the Community and Social Services Ministry, $4.17 million this year and $6.2 million annually. Once in place, these ini- tiatives should boost the northern economy by creating professional employment positions. As the initiatives are developed, community agencies and other ministries will be involved to con- tinue the joint planning and devel- opment of services for children with special needs in Northern Ontario.
