The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring that Aboriginal peoples enjoy the same education opportunities as other Canadians. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) has primary responsibility for education for First Nations people on reserve.
Improving educational outcomes is a shared responsibility. Governments, First Nation organizations, parents and individual students all have a role to play in achieving real results.
With increased opportunities for employment, the Government will continue to foster partnerships that help Aboriginal people get the skills and training to take advantage of job prospects in the North and across Canada.
