Following Their Voices receives funding boost from province, Ottawa
Indigenous education in Saskatchewan is getting a bump from the provincial and federal governments.
Representatives from the Government of Saskatchewan and Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada were on hand at the Sturgeon Lake Central School on Thursday, to announce an additional $4.8 million in funds for Following Their Voices programming.
Following Their Voices is a provincially created program, which focuses on engaging Indigenous students, and increasing graduation rates in Indigenous communities.
“We regard that as a major target of this ministry, is to improve the First Nation graduation rate,” Minister of Education Don Morgan said.
