Indigenous education in Ontario:

• Advocacy for an Ontario curriculum that contains clear expectations that every Ontario student will acquire knowledge and understanding of Treaties and of the historical context that gave rise to residential schools, the impact for First Nation, Métis and Inuit children and their families, and the ongoing legacy that is the responsibility of all Canadians
• Commitment to ensuring that the needs and aspirations of First Nation, Métis and Inuit children and their families are a prominent focus of the Ontario Public School Boards Association’s (OPSBA) other five priority areas.
• Respecting the TRC Call to Action regarding retention and revitalization of indigenous languages, advocacy for the teaching of indigenous languages in Ontario schools by fluent indigenous speakers
• Ongoing focus on increased visibility and scope for action to expand capacity of First Nation trustees and increased general understanding by all trustees of First Nation, Métis and Inuit issues
• Advocacy that supports action on eliminating inequity at the Federal level in education funding for First Nation students
