First Nation Education Initiative Incorporated
Another First Nations organization that will most likely benefit from the Conservative government’s initiative to improve education in First Nation communities.
First Nation Education Initiative Inc. represents an alliance of twelve First Nation communities from the province of New Brunswick which includes: Buctouche, Eel Ground, Eel River Bar, Fort Folly, Indian Island, Kingsclear, Madawaska, Metepenagiag, Oromocto, Pabineau, St. Mary’s and Woodstock.
A variety of federally funded programs have been undertaken including The First Nations Student Success Program. Projects funded through this program are required to include three interrelated components: school success plans in the three priority areas of literacy, numeracy and student retention, learning assessments including provincial standard testing process, and performance measurement systems.
