A group of Cree students is graduating from a special program at John Abbott College in Saint-Anne-de-Bellevue, the third and largest cohort to complete the year-long course.
WATCH: A third cohort of Cree students is graduating from a unique programme at John Abbott College , the Iyeskuwiiu Springboard to DCS program. It's the largest group to complete the year-long course developed and designed in partnership with the Cree school board. As Global's Phil Carpenter reports, it marks a significant milestone for members of communities who often don't have access to important educational resources.
This course is mostly done online in the students’ home communities in the north, so students can remain with family and take courses to learn more about their cultures.“At the same time they they’re also learning to keep up with the pace of what they will face, if they do decide to continue their education at John Abbott or another CEGEP,” Tekakwitha Martin told Global News.The course started with 20 students and some who graduated say it wasn’t easy.
One CSB official said steps are being taken to start post-secondary options for students within the communities, though.
