Jay Chalke says the Ministry of Children and Family Development gave the woman incorrect information, leading her to believe she was eligible for government support for post-secondary education worth tens of thousands of dollars.
When she was 17, the ministry developed a plan for her custody to be transferred to the care of an aunt. The plan, developed with a provincial social worker, included assurances that Alexandra should qualify for support from the province to pursue a post-secondary education.
What’s weird about the statements is there is a program for these kids to get post-secondary funding. i know sonebody that went through it. The article doesn’t describe the criteria or why she was denied.
