Before the students can be .fully integrated into the education s"stem, he said, they must betaugbtEnglish. The major problem is,with the 22 secondary students, 20 of which are at .Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. Those students' are grouped • yinone lass and spend most of the day with aC remedial resource teacher, who is now unable to provide assistance to students for whom it is intended. Superintendent W.D. Kenwe i told the board the secondary school students. have the academic ability but are set back by the language barrier. He added that the refugee students cannot even , communicate among . themselves because ofdiffereAmin language. Some do speak French while others may speak Chinese or Iaotiaa.. d The situation appears to be a little brighter among theft refugee students in elementary schools. They are spread out :m seven county schools" with the largest concentration being in Victoria. School, Goderi hh with eight stud uta and Huron . Centennial •Public School with six. There are no grants availoble if additimhal staff is required to teach refugee sudents so the new teacher (Al be ;considered part of • student services ' and . the saiaiy will not be added to a school budget. The board also hopes some assistance can be provided by adult volunteers. The expense of the ad- ditional, teacher may fall back on the taxpayer but director Cochrane saidthat many sponsoring gimps made the co®mittnnent to assist refugees andthterefore will have to bear additional education costs.
