Dawn Wood describes Indigenous Inclusion Directorate – Community School Program funding and their objectives in the province of Manitoba.
” The Indigenous Inclusion Directorate provides leadership and co-ordination for departmental initiatives in Aboriginal education and training. The Indigenous Inclusion Directorate operates from within Manitoba Education and Training. The primary role of the Indigenous Inclusion Directorate is in research, policy development and strategic initiatives. This is accomplished in the spirit of cooperation and consultation with many groups and individuals, such as school administrators, educators, students, parents, Aboriginal and community organizations and other government departments. The Indigenous Inclusion Directorate works in partnership with First Nations communities and organization in Manitoba. The Directorate’s work is supported by the guidance of two advisory councils from the Aboriginal community.” -from the website
