Partners

Our efforts to improve outcomes for First Nations learners in British Columbia are enhanced by the many partnerships we have entered into over the past several decades.

First Nations Partner Organizations 

First Nations Schools Association

FNESC has a long-standing close working relationship with the First Nations Schools Association, as well as shared responsibilities for implementing and reporting on programs and services for First Nations and First Nation schools.

By working together, sharing our experiences and ideas, and speaking with a united voice, all First Nations and First Nation schools have contributed to significant achievements in First Nations education.

Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association

FNESC works closely with the Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association (IAHLA) to support First Nations-controlled adult and post-secondary education institutes in BC.

First Nations Education Authority

FNESC and the First Nations Education Authority work together to advance First Nations Education jurisdiction in BC. The First Nations Education Authority, established in 2021, is an independent body that assists First Nations in BC that have assumed jurisdiction over their K-12 education systems on their land, pursuant to individual education jurisdiction agreements with Canada.
