First Nations schools/provincial schools funding analysis : 2002/03 school year : final report / submitted to the First Nations Education Steering Committee by Bill Postl. : R5-628/2003E-PDF

"The First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) share a commitment to First Nations students receiving a quality education in both First Nations schools and provincial public schools. INAC requires that First Nations schools follow provincial curriculum and teachers be eligible to teach in public schools. Many First Nations educators and leaders assert that this requires funding at least equal to provincial funding, that federal funding is less than provincial funding and, consequently, that federal funding is not adequate to provide quality education in First Nations schools. The purpose of this study is to provide detailed and comprehensive analytic information on federal funding for students in First Nations schools compared to provincial funding for First Nations students in public schools. Specifically, the intent of this analysis is to estimate the federal operating funding for each First Nations school, and to estimate what provincial operating funding would be if the school were a public school within the district in which it is physically located, with all students being on the Nominal Roll. These comparisons will inform reviews and potential revisions to federal funding formulas and practices"--Background to study, p. 1.
