Northern Policy Out With Education Report

A report from the Northern Policy Institute is recommending First Nations have local control of their education.
One of the authors says there should be a community school based approach to education.
Paul Bennett says it could overcome the broken trust over the First Nations Education Act.
Bennett says there’s a better chance of getting support from aboriginal leaders if the decision making powers start at local schools and work their way up.
Bennett believes their idea stands a far better chance of making a difference and improving student achievement.
