Implementation of the Education Action Plan is on target with 60 per cent of the actions completed or substantially underway. The plan is building a more inclusive learning environment that is responsive to student’s strengths and needs and helping them succeed. Budget 2019 allocated $13 million, an increase of $6 million from last year, to continue implementation of the plan’s recommendations and support better outcomes for students. Progress on Indigenous education are as follows:

A framework for Indigenous Education and a new Indigenous Course Policy has been developed in consultation with all Indigenous groups. This will allow Indigenous peoples greater flexibility and the ability to develop curriculum for themselves. The framework will guide the development of curriculum outcomes and learning resources for all students that reflect the history, contributions, traditions, and cultures of Indigenous peoples.
