DUNCAN, BC– New Democrat MP Jean Crowder (Nanaimo-Cowichan) hopes today’s
meeting between Aboriginal leaders and the Premiers will be a catalyst for a
change in how education is delivered to Aboriginal students.

“The discrimination in funding is most clear for First Nation students
living on-reserve but there is an education crisis in Métis and Inuit
communities too,” said Crowder, the New Democrat First Nations Issues
Critic. “We need to start with funding that keeps great teachers in the
classrooms, that builds schools appropriate for Northern and remote
locations and that prioritizes traditional language instruction in the early
years.”
