GRADE 12 - TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION
OVERVIEWStudents use and study technology to create practical solutions to problems – individually or in groups – to develop technical skills, knowledge and attitudes. Technology Education enables students to explore their ideas and gain practical experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Technology Education allows learners to evaluate their strengths and interests in career choices. It also reflects rapid changes in the workplace and allows students to make informed decisions about their future. In Grade 12, your child will need to earn credits in 4 compulsory subjects: English Language Arts, Français, Mathematics and Physical Education/Health Education. These credits are required to obtain a Manitoba high school diploma. In addition to these 4 compulsory courses, your child will take optional courses to earn the necessary credits towards graduation requirements (a minimum of 30 credits in Senior Years). Students in Grade 11 are specializing in the technical vocational area of their choice. In their last year of high school, Grade 12 students will continue to specialize and develop the skills in order to make a successful transition to the workforce or to post-secondary education. The learning outcomes will be linked to postsecondary training or apprenticeship. The Senior Years French Immersion Technology Education Diploma Of the minimum 30 credits required for graduation, students must earn a minimum of 14 credits from courses taught in French in order to obtain a provincial French immersion diploma. As of September 2024, students starting Grade 9 must earn a minimum of 15 credits taught in French. Furthermore, students must complete 21 compulsory courses.
In addition, 8 approved compulsory technical vocational credits are required to obtain a diploma in this program. Schools typically offer one of these credits in Grade 10, 3 in Grade 11 and 4 in Grade 12. The 8 courses developed from Grades 10 to 12 form the foundation courses within the specific cluster. Finally, the student must earn a minimum of 1 optional credit to have the 30 credits required to graduate.
