| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by Gisele Maheux, Jean-Pierre Marquis and Gerald McKenzie relating to schools in Ivujivik and Povungnituk, two of 14 Inuit communities in Nouveau-Quebec where educational services are provided by the Kativik school board. The presentation relates to the training of Inuit people to become teachers and school administrators. An agreement was made in 1984 with the University of Quebec and the two schools to develop an Inuit teacher and administrator training program. Courses are given in Inuktitut, while communication between students and teachers is in English. The group calls on the Commission to ensure funding continues for their program which puts Inuit people back in their community schools as qualified teachers and administrators. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
