Education

Education is also a top priority for BC First Nations. With the creation of early childhood education programs, such as “Head Start” and “Success by Six”, First Nations children are participating in education at an earlier age. This translates into a higher retention rate of First Nations children throughout primary and secondary school with more First Nations children graduating from high school.
