Module 2 Post #4

I just finished reading the below article titled: A Portrait of First Nations and Education from the Chiefs Assembly on Education.

The article contained some startling information regarding graduation rates for First Nation students as well as some amazing information. The article used data from 2004-2009 and found that the First Nation high school graduation rate was 36% compared to the Canadian graduation rate of 72%. The amazing information was that the Membertou First Nation graduation rate in Nova Scotia was 100% during the past 3 years. The article also contains some interesting information on First Nation language and learning and infrastructure and capital requirements.
