By focusing on curriculum that incorporates traditional knowledge, students are expected to demonstrate greater engagement and success in their studies. This initiative is a critical step toward addressing the longstanding inequalities faced by Indigenous students in Quebec, contributing to better educational experiences and outcomes in the long run.
Implementation Strategies
Successful implementation of these programs will require strong community involvement and collaboration among various stakeholders, including educators, community leaders, and local organizations. Continuous evaluation of the program's impact and adaptations based on community feedback will be essential to ensure that the initiatives are meeting the intended goals. By building capacity within Indigenous educational institutions, this initiative aims to create a sustainable model for culturally relevant education in Quebec that can be replicated across other regions and contexts.
