Abstract

Abstract: The New Brunswick education system is facing many changes with the growth in population because of much-needed immigration. Like many other Canadian provinces, New Brunswick must settle newcomer families for future stability. New Brunswick educators are responding to cultural diversity, language differences and differing educational backgrounds of newcomer students. The needs of newcomers are addressed by looking at academics, language development and emotional well-being within an inclusive school system. Initial steps for policymakers and educators to support are more global view of education to lay a better foundation for newcomer students and families.
