Why is it important to provide consent?
- We will be able to follow AES students into Ontario’s system and provide them with assistance and support.
- A fluid transition of records between AES and Ontario systems will ease school administration and reduce errors. It will make transition easier for programming.
- When we know more about AES students, we can do more to support them.
- Communities and schools can capture accurate educational statistics for on and off-reserve students. This will help identify learning trends and needs of AES students that are both on and off-reserve.
- Helps teachers to deliver responsive programs that meet Anishinabek standards
- We will have accurate information to support AES students.
