Indigenous education was the focus of an announcement made this afternoon by the Ministry of Education.
15 teacher training seats will be added at Vancouver Island University’s Cowichan campus which will focus on Indigenous culture and perspectives.
The Ministry will collaborate with the Cowichan and other local tribes to develop a curriculum for the program.
Investments in Indigenous education training are a direct response to Call to Action number 62 from the Truth and Reconcilialtion Commission.
