Addressing Systemic Inequities
What’s This About?
Systemic changes are necessary to achieve equitable outcomes. Changes to education must provide positive impacts for marginalized groups and they must be actionable and permanent. Training must be provided for all education workers and teachers. Consultations and collaboration with all stakeholder groups, including education unions, families, and community groups is needed to support open dialogue and action.
How do we address these issues?
Focus On First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Communities
Infrastructure supports for education, including access to full school programming, technology, Wi-Fi, and sustainable, safe buildings.

Dismantling white supremacy and colonial legacy practices in education.
De-Streaming
