"The reform project includes a program whose 180,000 pages to read for educators seem incomprehensible. Heaviness, totally assumed, resulting in a complexity leading to confusion. Example: when we say "Evolve in a" standardized deep water environment "instead of saying simply "Swimming pool". Why complicate things when they can be simple? "Programs projects for cycles 2.3 and 4 presented by. the three groups established by the Board of programs were adopted at the meeting of 9 April 2015. The draft programs will be subject to consultation. They are a first proposal, a foreshadowing that still needs to be worked. They will be reviewed and amended in response to opinions and suggestions gathered during the consultation phase. It is indeed a full step in the program development process. "(Source Education).
