Overcoming Barriers for Indigenous Students
Our Roadmap Forward
Our Roadmap Forward – Ensuring the Success of Indigenous Students focuses on addressing systemic barriers and improving outcomes for Indigenous learners at RRC Polytech. The report builds on the Overcoming Barriers for Indigenous Students project, launched in 2022, and reflects extensive community-guided research, conversations, and data analysis. This work identified 73 root factors influencing the success of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students, highlighting the need for coordinated, system-wide change.
The report is organized around five priority areas – essential life needs, funding and enrolment, academic readiness, student experience, and institutional culture – and outlines both current and future actions.
