In December 2005, Edudata Canada completed their report on the findings of their research, Learning and Career Pathways: Tracking the Education Career Path and Employment Status of BC Teachers of Aboriginal Ancestry. The report makes recommendations for increasing the number of qualified Aboriginal teachers in British Columbia and for improving data collection in these areas. The ministries of Education, Advanced Education, and Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, who jointly contracted Edudata to undertake the project, will share this research and recommendations with stakeholders and education partners.
