According to a press release issued by the GNWT, Vancouver Island University has applied to deliver a remote Bachelor of Education program within the Northwest Territories this fall.
The program would be offered in partnership with Indigenous Nations or school districts. If it goes ahead, the first pilot N.W.T. cohort would include 15 students.
First, the territorial government said, the B.C.-based university must come through a new GNWT approval process. The Vancouver Island program would accept all high-school graduates who meet the grade requirements outlined on its website, where the university also pledges to prioritize Indigenous applicants.
“Northern and Indigenous students often have to travel significant distances from their homes, families, and lands to access post-secondary education,” the report stated. “There are often stories of ongoing mental, emotional, and financial stress from being away from home, navigating new places, and experiencing systemic barriers.
