NTI’s Tusaqsimajavut Report highlighted what was heard during community consultations regarding proposed changes to the Education Act and the Inuit Language Protection Act:
- Nunavut Inuit want to see Inuktut as the main language of instruction in our schools (K-12) and early childhood education;
- more focus on teaching Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit;
- no reduction in DEA authorities and better support for DEAs;
- re-introduction of divisional school boards;
- improved processes between DEAs, Department of Education and Regional School Operations;
- an end to social promotion; and
- better inclusive education and student supports.
