A new FNESC subcommittee, the Post-Secondary Subcommittee (PSSC) has been
formed to address First Nations post-secondary education issues.
The role of the PSSC
- To participate in and contribute to discussions about post-secondary education
- To identify areas that require attention in the long and short term
- To advocate for post-secondary initiatives and services as necessary
- To seek community input to identify and prioritize post-secondary issues
- To develop unified responses to provincial and federal post-secondary issues
New for this year, FNESC and INAC have worked together in this joint initiative to offer a toll-free telephone number for education workers to call for support in post-secondary education. The purpose is to assist education workers in the following topic areas:
INAC Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP);
University College Entrance Program (UCEP) information;
Post-Secondary Student Report forms;
BC’s Post-Secondary Education Allocation Methodology and application processes;
Plus any other post-secondary education questions that arise
