[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
There are many student teachers or many people learning to be teachers, but now there are not as many people applying to become teachers because, again, a lot of the teaching material is in English. The learning material is in English. If we're going to be recruiting indigenous teachers, I strongly believe that a lot of the learning materials should be in the language of the schools they will be serving in.
There are no northern teacher education programs running in the north, and a lot of the learning material they use is in English. That creates a disconnect between the culture and the profession they are pursuing.
Tom and Margaret, could reply to my comment?
