Saskatchewan, FSIN partner on education task force

The Saskatchewan government and the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations have established a joint task force whose goal is to help identify solutions for eliminating the current gaps in education and employment outcomes for First Nations and Métis people in the province. The task force will focus on several key goals, including increased high school and PSE completion rates. The 3-member task force will be appointed by the end of summer, with public consultations slated to begin this fall. A final report is expected in August 2012. Saskatchewan News Release
