PDF Report

Department of Sociology, University of Saskatchewan

Description:
“The paper addresses the causes and implications of, and possible solutions to, the “education gap” between Aboriginal people and the general population in Canada. Our analysis highlights how structural and processual aspects of education interact to serve, alternatively, as barriers and contributing factors to the success of Aboriginal students. Adequate understanding of, and action to address, the education gap requires sensitivity.” (From executive summary, April 13, 2010)
