Regional Education Agreement
Since 1996, funding increases for First Nations education have been capped at 2%. In response, since 2007, the FNEC has been working—alongside its 22 member communities—to develop a funding formula for their schools. This formula is designed to meet the needs of their students, improve academic outcomes, take into account cultural, linguistic, social, and geographical circumstances, and ensure fair and equitable funding distribution among communities.
The FNEC’s funding formula became the foundation of the Regional Education Agreement, which was formalized on June 22, 2020, between Minister Marc Miller and the FNEC Chiefs Committee.
On July 14, 2022, the Chiefs and Grand Chiefs of the FNEC met with the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Indigenous Services, on Mohawk territory in Kahnawà:ke to sign a historic agreement: the Regional Education Agreement.
