Alberta Education Minister travels to France to strengthen francophone learning partnerships

Alberta Minister of Education and Childcare Demetrios Nicolaides will visit France from September 12 to 19, 2026, to bolster international education partnerships and promote language programs. During the week-long mission, the minister will meet with French education officials to expand student and teacher mobility initiatives and renew foundational bilateral agreements. The province will sign a letter of intent with France's National Ministry of Education and a memorandum of understanding with La Region Academique Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes. Accompanied by superintendents from Alberta’s four francophone school boards, Nicolaides aims to enhance French-language education and build upon prior successes, such as the student exchange pilot launched in the 2025–2026 school year.
