Summary
Indigenous leaders are demanding $19 billion over 20 years to fix crumbling First Nations schools—overcrowded, unsafe, and starved of funding for decades. With 225 schools now overcrowded and 77 needing full replacement, the Assembly says recent funding increases aren’t enough to meet the 2030 infrastructure promise. Teacher housing shortages fuel staff turnover, destabilizing education. The federal government admits schools are “decrepit,” but Indigenous leaders insist real progress requires far more than current efforts to close the gap and ensure equal learning conditions.
