Canadian Education

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the educational system among the Aborigines in the region of Manitoba in Canada and also questions the quality of the education process. The paper notes that the most important initiative that focused on the inclusion of the Aborigines in the educational system is the 2004-2007 education action plan which takes into consideration four important initiatives which are discussed in the paper. The paper discusses that another major problem facing students, and especially Aboriginal students in Manitoba, is the lack of work places. The paper concludes that the education plan is one of the means through which the society can evolve from a discriminatory one to an inclusive one.

From the Paper:

"One of the most important and significant elements in the history of the region represented the education. This is largely due to the fact that through the process of education, the basic and most valuable assets of a nation or of a people remain entrenched in the collective mentality of the population and are transmitted to the next generations. In the historical conditions of the Manitoba region this was a significant aspect because it was one of the few means through which the population could actually keep the traditions and mentalities".
