Enhancing Educational Outcomes: A National Report on Supporting Indigenous Learners in Canadian Post-Secondary Institutions

Indigenous learners in Canada face unique challenges in post-secondary education that can hinder their academic success and personal growth. These challenges are rooted in historical and systemic barriers, including cultural disconnection, discrimination, and limited access to resources.

However, Indigenous communities also bring with them rich cultural knowledge, resilience, and a profound understanding of their own educational needs. As Canada continues to grapple with its colonial past, there is an increasing recognition of the need to create more inclusive and supportive environments in post-secondary institutions for Indigenous students.

This report, Enhancing Educational Outcomes: A National Report on Supporting Indigenous Learners in Canadian Post-Secondary Institutions, seeks to highlight the current state of Indigenous education in higher learning institutions across the country, with a focus on the initiatives, programs, and policies that have been developed to support these students. It aims to offer a comprehensive overview of both the progress made and the challenges that remain.
