Conclusion
| A great deal of interest and expectation has been generated throughout the province as a result of the Native Education Policy Review. The policy framework is intended to help guide the ministry's future activities on First Nations, Métis and Inuit education policy development, strategy implementation, and program evaluation. The policy framework's success will be dependent on the continued commitment of all individuals, organizations and communities involved in Aboriginal education. Improving Aboriginal learner success is a priority for Alberta Learning, and is a responsibility shared by parents, the community, education stakeholders, Aboriginal authorities, and the provincial and federal governments. Alberta Learning commits to working toward the goal of ensuring that the life-long learning aspirations and potential of First Nations, Métis or Inuit individuals and communities are realized through a responsive and accountable public education system. | Alberta Learning needs to focus on curriculum development that describes our Alberta history in such a way as the many Aboriginal heroes that impacted on the development of our great province are described and included in the Alberta Learning curriculum. We have a rich heritage and an incredible history of peaceful negotiations and partnership that should be described and modeled to the world, especially to our youth. (Individual Response) |
