Aboriginal high school graduation rates on the rise
PRINCE GEORGE — The number of Aboriginal high school graduates reached its highest level ever in B.C. last year at 70 per cent.
Numbers are also way up over the past six years in the Prince George School District and local education advocates are optimistic that number will continue to climb.
Ben Berland, general manager of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, has long been an education advocate, dating back to his time working in the education system, pushing for the first Aboriginal focused school in Prince George – Nusdeh Yoh.
