Aboriginal Education Panel Visits Rat Portage

The National Round-Table on Aboriginal Education has received a list of several recommendations to improve learning in Northern communities.

The 3-member Panel was in Rat Portage First Nation yesterday for the first of 7 stops across Canada.

Jack McMaster is the Director of Education for the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board and says the Feds need to bridge the gap between primary and secondary learning.

McMaster says students living on reserves need to have a smooth transition when attending High School in Dryden, Sioux Lookout, Red Lake and Kenora.
