First Nations grad rates up in Sask. Rivers School Division
After dropping last year, graduation rates for First Nations students attending school in the Sask. Rivers Public School Division have risen above provincial numbers.
A report filed during the division’s regular meeting Monday night described grad numbers among students. Chair Barry Hollick said the board is thrilled with the numbers.
“We’re trending in the right direction,” he said. “We’re above the provincial numbers, so we’re very pleased with that and we hope to see that trend continue.”
According to the report, over the last two years 47.1 per cent of First Nations Indigenous Metis (FNIM) students graduated on-time, compared to 41.8 per cent across Saskatchewan.
