Presentation of a Paper to the Advisory Committee on the Financial Accessibility of Education
The FNEC presented a Paper in February 2010 in the scope of the consultations organized by the Advisory Committee under the theme Towards the financial accessibility of lifelong learning. The FNEC depicted the appalling situation of its member communities which have crying needs in lifelong learning. The chronic underfunding in education imposed by the federal government represents the greatest hurdle to the accessibility of education. Any amelioration has to go through adequate investments in First Nations schools. The Paper was presented to the Committee on May 3, 2010.

Paper on First Nations Education Funding, February, 2009

The First Nations Education Council (FNEC) understands that improving the quality of First Nations education takes more than money. However, this report will show that the systemic underfunding of First Nations education is deplorable and has significantly impacted the ability of First Nations students to succeed.
This report will identify the extent of this chronic underfunding, highlighting the funding shortfalls experienced by First Nations communities in Canada.
