Education students in Alberta are unable to complete their practicums as the Alberta teachers strike continues. University of Alberta elementary education student Haley Roberts said that students cannot complete their hours anywhere else, but are still expected to meet with practicum facilitators to learn about running a classroom. “It’s a little bit frustrating, because we’ve gone four years now talking about all of that stuff,” said Roberts. “The practicum is kind of where you get to put all of that into play.” Education student Jillian Gulli said that backup plans have not been communicated to students at UAlberta.
