Summary of the report

This is the third and final progress report on the implementation of the Ontario First Nation, Métis and Inuit Education Policy Framework. The framework was released in 2007 and outlined the government’s approach to supporting First Nation, Métis and Inuit learners in Ontario. The framework identified two primary challenges to be addressed by the year 2016:

  • to improve achievement among First Nation, Métis and Inuit students
  • to close the achievement gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students

We committed to providing progress reports every three years based on ten performance measures. We released three progress reports over the course of the implementation of the framework.

The third progress report describes the strengthening of these relationships and concludes with a look at the journey ahead to meeting the evolving needs of Indigenous learners across the province.
