About
From the beginning, the FNEC has been committed to involving parents in their children’s learning path. But in 2009, the FNEC received a clear request from parents to make parental involvement a priority for the FNEC and its member communities.
2009 – At the 19th annual First Nations Education Conference, parents express an interest in finding ways to improve parental involvement and support their children in school.
2013 – A working committee, composed of education experts from the FNEC and its member communities, is created with the mandate to study the issue and develop standards for parental and community involvement.
2014 – First Nations governance standards for parental involvement are approved in assembly.
2015 – The “I’m Involved!” campaign is launched to raise awareness about parental and community involvement. The main objective of the campaign is to make parental and community involvement a priority in FNEC communities by placing value on children, the role of parents, volunteering, school and the people who work there, as well as the different ways children learn.
Today – Whether it is to offer training, parent-child activities or support for the establishment of parental participation structures, to create awareness-raising tools, or respond to any other request for parental involvement support, the FNEC continues its efforts to help its member communities create a welcoming and caring environment for children.
We are here for you and your community!
