Vision:

Saskatchewan's provincial Prekindergarten to Grade 12 education system is managed and controlled equitably by the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people it serves. As full partners at all levels of education planning and decision making First Nations, Métis and non-Aboriginal peoples share responsibility and authority for achieving goals for the benefit of all Saskatchewan students, teachers and communities.

The provincial education system plays a key role in ensuring the well-being and educational success of children and young people contributing to the prosperity and harmony of the province. Through partnerships with families, community members and human service providers, the provincial education system provides high quality and culturally affirming programs and comprehensive supports and services.

All children and young people have the opportunity to experience success and to develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to become caring and contributing citizens. (Building Partnerships: First Nations and Métis Peoples and the Provincial Education System, 2003).

The unit is guided by the Aboriginal Education Provincial Advisory Committee Action Plan (2000-2005).

Goals:

1. All students achieve well-being and learning success.
2. Cultural identity and diversity are affirmed in the learning program.
3. Teaching and learning are guided by Indigenous Knowledge, research and best practices.
4. Learning environments foster respect of self and others.
5. Every school is a part of a larger learning community.
6. The leadership of the provincial education system is shared through co-management and co-governance.
