Portrait of practices in support of First Peoples student success in cegep and university : moving forward together

Abstract

In response to the calls for action formulated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2015), an increasing number of initiatives are being implemented in institutions of higher education to support First Peoples student success and facilitate their access to education. This requires forums for the stakeholders involved in the indigenization process to nurture dialogue and ensure consistency. With this in mind, the Consortium d’animation sur la persévérance et la réussite en enseignement supérieur (CAPRES) joined forces with the Centre des Premières Nations Nikanite, the Fédération des cégeps and Dawson College to organize an activity addressing these issues in order to develop the Portrait des pratiques, a portrait of practices in support of First Peoples student success in CEGEP and university.
