With 225 schools overcrowded, 77 needing full replacement, and teachers struggling without housing, students are paying the price. Despite billions spent since 2016 and Canada’s 2030 self-determination pledge, Ottawa hasn’t funded new construction since 2024 — and rising costs mean the bill is now nearly $7 billion higher than expected. The Assembly of First Nations insists it’s time to level the playing field so every child can learn in safe, dignified spaces.
