The memorandum announces changes to the OMGE GLOBAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY's "Buddy System" effective December 1, 2019. The Buddy System pairs each student with a Buddy Teacher who is tasked with monitoring the student's academic progress and helping them fulfill their goals. It also includes a weekly Buddy Counselling Program where students have 10-minute one-on-one sessions with their Buddy Teacher to confidentially discuss and address any academic concerns. The sessions will be recorded on counselling forms and may also serve to evaluate the student's performance for Academic Managers.
