Online survey regarding indigenous education

Improving Indigenous education - Take the online survey

The Ministry of Education is committed to improving Indigenous education in Ontario, improving student achievement and well-being, and closing the achievement gap between Indigenous students and all students. In support of this, they have released an online survey to gather feedback and input which will be used to inform the development of the third Progress Report on the implementation of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Education Policy Framework. This survey is open to all students, parents/guardians and families, school board staff, Indigenous communities, organizations and partners. Participation in the 15-minute survey is voluntary and confidential. The survey will be available until June 23, 2017.
