Call to Action # 62: Education for Reconciliation (62-65)

Revamp of Ethics and Religious course

January 14, 2020

 The Quebec Ministry of Education announced plans to revamp its ethics and religious culture course. The First Nations Education Council has noted that his reform is taking place at a time when the government must respond to the Viens Commission’s calls to action, which include the recommendation to “further enrich the Québec curriculum by introducing a fair and representative portrait of Québec First Nations and Inuit history, working with Indigenous authorities” (call to action no. 21), and “introduce concepts related to Indigenous history and culture as early as possible in the school curriculum” (call to action no. 22).
