Well, I would definitely say that we aren't meeting the educational needs of our youth in our communities. Elementary school education is not meeting the needs for our youth to ready themselves to go on to high school. We have youth leaving the community from high school, young people who have graduated. Some communities have high schools, so they have graduated at their high school in their community.
But then they go to post-secondary and they think: “Boy, I have a grade 12 diploma. The world is my oyster.” They leave the community, go to post-secondary, and have not a clue. They cannot compete or complete any kind of higher-level post-secondary education. Their skills are not there. Their foundational math and English language skills are not there.
In grades 6 and 3, they're still doing the testing for these students. The provincial testing is still mandatory for our first nations. They're still doing those to see how we compare with the provincial average, and we don't.
