The Centre for Black Students in Education opened its doors in January 2023, with the official unveiling taking place in the summer of 2023.

The Atkinson Centre promotes research on child development, and the development of early learning policy and practice that serve young children and their families.

Education Accord NL will focus on four pillars: Early learning and childhood development; Education engagement and transformation; Health and well-being in education environments; and, Post-secondary education and learning across the life span. The Accord will be developed in consultation with stakeholders and will incorporate research garnered through the extensive engagement and consultation process of Health Accord NL.

Excerpt: "New learning expectations are also being added to the kindergarten curriculum. In math, clear and direct instruction in foundational numeracy skills will be provided to all students in addition to daily opportunities to explore math concepts through regular classroom activities. All students will start to learn about fractions, coding and patterns earlier in their education. These new lessons will build foundational math concepts and skills that are the gateway to the disciplines of science, technology and engineering, as well as construction, skilled trades and architecture. The changes and supports, which will be in place starting in September 2025, are the next step in ���޾��ֲ�’s plan to modernize the curriculum and ensure every student has the skills to succeed in the classroom and prepare them for whatever path they choose."

Excerpt: "This is not another column about wages in licensed child care. Instead, we take a step outside that inner circle to consider the people who train early childhood educators. College faculty are not a group that earns ready sympathy. Two months off in the summer! Time off at Christmas and mid-term breaks! Those breaks exist, but many college teachers spend them grading papers, preparing for the next semester, doing research to stay relevant in their field, or teaching an extra class. The job is year-round. The pay is not. The high tuition students pay for higher education frequently buys them an instructor working on contract, moving from college to college, classroom to classroom, trying to make two or three sessional placements add up to a living wage."
