Abstract | Across Canada, systemic barriers have created an environment where Indigenous learners encounter obstacles to accessing and persisting through post-secondary education, resulting in an educational gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. The federal government has made it a priority to address this gap. This report expands upon existing knowledge of Indigenous student access, mobility, and persistence in British Columbia (BC) in order to develop a deeper understanding of Indigenous educational pathways and to explore the various approaches that institutions within BC are undertaking to advance Indigenous student success. Key stakeholders from each BC public post-secondary institution, and other BC Council on Admissions and Transfer member institutions, were interviewed. Participants included representatives involved in admissions and/or student services and Indigenous programming/services/education. Interview transcripts were analyzed for emerging themes in the areas of access, persistence, and mobility. Additionally, unique programs, services, practices, and policies were identified. In general, results found that there were a variety of programs, services, practices, and policies in place across the participating institutions which supported Indigenous learners in accessing and persisting through their post-secondary studies. However, there was an overall desire by stakeholders for more data and information related to the mobility of Indigenous learners in particular, as well as access and persistence in general. Many of the interviewees felt that Indigenous learners continued to face significant barriers in accessing and persisting in their post-secondary studies. (ERIC). |
