Key Policy Issues in Aboriginal Education: An Evidence-Based Approach

This report was published by the Council Ministers of Education.

HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS REPORT:

In Learn Canada 2020, provincial and territorial ministers of education, acting through the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), affirmed their commitment to improving outcomes for Aboriginal students and identified the gaps in academic achievement and graduation rates between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students as a key area for attention. One of the strategies articulated in the CMEC Aboriginal Education Action Plan for addressing these gaps in outcomes is ‘œstrengthening the capacity for evidence-based decision making.’ Toward that goal, CMEC commissioned a report to consider how better data and evidence can be developed to support jurisdictions’ efforts to improve the academic achievement and attainment of Aboriginal students in provincial and territorial elementary and secondary schools
