FNMI Policy Framework

Monitoring and Reporting of Results

Policy Framework Monitoring

Progress reports on the attainment of policy framework goals will be prepared yearly.

Consultation

Ongoing dialogue with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities will be carried out in order to report progress on goals and to possibly receive survey results. A symposium or conference held every 1.5 to 2 years may be an appropriate mechanism to review outcomes and discuss outstanding issues.

Internal Reporting

Current and/or potential internal reporting mechanisms:

  • An annual outcomes report identifying progress on specific strategies contained in the ministry's three-year business plan.
  • A section in the Annual Educational Results (AER) report on improvements in the educational attainment of First Nations, Métis and Inuit learners.
  • Third-party evaluation of the policy framework every 3 to 4 years to assess the extent to which the vision has been achieved.
School jurisdictions should be accountable for the success of all students in their schools. This includes students of all Aboriginal backgrounds. A strategic plan for Aboriginal education in their three-year business plan will hold the school jurisdiction more accountable for results relative to the achievement of Aboriginal students.

External Reporting

Current and/or potential external reporting mechanisms:

  • School districts and post-secondary institutions' inclusion, in their three-year business plans and annual reports, a summary of initiatives for First Nations, Métis and Inuit learners, and the outcomes achieved.
  • Continuing requirement to report First Nations, Métis and Inuit learner participation and achievement results to respective Aboriginal education authorities.
