Mallorca: 14 pupils study in Canada on grants

Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands, has 14 pupils studying at Canadian schools this term: they began in September on Balearic government excellence scholarships. Four pupils from Menorca and six from Ibiza are there too, making 24 in all. They are studying in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Nova Scotia during the first term of the school year.

The scholarships cover host-family accommodation and meals, school enrolment arrangements, leisure, sports and cultural activities, insurance and support throughout the term.

Catalina Ginart, the Balearic government’s director-general for educational planning and management, has visited the pupils and spoken with them about their experiences, the Balearic Ministry of Education and Universities said. The stay gives them a chance to practise English, get to know another culture and see how a different school system works.
