A new group of post-secondary students finished their studies in an Indigenous Community-Based Master of Education Program in La Ronge this week.

“A lot of them are from different communities in Northern Saskatchewan, so this is not just having an impact in La Ronge, it is having an impact across the North,” said Viviana Ruiz Arcand, who was the group’s final sessional instructor.

“With me, basically the students had to bring everything together — what they have learned over the last two and a half years — and share what they had learned. They had to synthesize their knowledge and create a project that included implementation, budget, timelines, theoretical foundations through a literature review, and participation in class discussions on various education topics. I personally feel a wealth of knowledge was shared.”

GDI is a Saskatchewan-based educational, employment, and cultural institute serving Métis communities across the province.
