Increasing the effectiveness of service delivery to Mi'kmaw learners

Located within the Public Schools Branch, the Mi'kmaq Services Division (MSD) was established in 1997 in response to the recommendation of the Task Force on Mi'kmaq Education. The Task Force became the Council on Mi'kmaq Education (CME) in 1997 and continues to provide guidance and make recommendations to the Minister of Education. The review involved a consultation across the province through written responses and a series of regional dialogue sessions that included stake holders from the 13 Nova Scotia Bands, as well as other organizations including the Native Council of Nova Scotia and the Mi'kmaq Native Friendship Centre.
