15th competency: Understanding and Learning to Fight Systemic Racism

November 20, 2020

The “15th competency: Understanding and Learning to Fight Systemic Racism” for teachers and teacher education programs, developed by a joint effort by the First Nations Education Council, Institut Tshakapesh and the Centre de développement de la formation et de la main-d’oeuvre huron-wendat has received the full support of the Provincial Education Table First Nations Student Success. In keeping with the AFNQL’s Action Plan on Racism and Discrimination, competency 15 is an exhortation to the province of Quebec to fulfill its duty, and to integrate the recommendations issued by the Viens Commission, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, not only for education, but in all areas affected by their calls to action.
