Education Minister Thompson has backtracked on her position of three days ago which seemed to waffle on the future of all-day kindergarten. Friday she said the government is “absolutely committed to full-day learning” for kindergarteners. She released the statement, after days of increasing concern. During an event on Tuesday, Thompson revealed the government would be holding consultations to determine whether the policy was working. She would only commit to the program for the 2019-2020 school year.
