The B.C. government has increased its commitment to $330 million to settle the dispute with the B.C. Teachers91裸聊视频� Federation, funding 2,600 new teacher positions, Education Minister Mike Bernier says.

The agreement provides 91裸聊视频渁dditional flexibility91裸聊视频� on specialty teacher ratios in schools, but achieves provincial language on how to resolve disputes over class size and composition, Bernier told reporters Friday.

The extra funding is to comply with a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in November that requires a return to contract language removed from the BCTF contract in 2002.

91裸聊视频淲e did agree to make the old language work to the extent that we could for now, working with the BCTF, but even the BCTF and all the people involved understood that we need to look to longer-term solutions,91裸聊视频� Bernier said. 91裸聊视频淎nd this is basically a bridge that we are outlining today 91裸聊视频� to help us get to 2019 where we will be at negotiations again with the teachers91裸聊视频� federation and at the bargaining table, to be able to look at things a little more holistically.91裸聊视频�

The province had previously announced $180 million so B.C.91裸聊视频檚 60 school districts could start hiring teachers this year.
