NTI and parents of Inuit students are launching a lawsuit against the Government of Nunavut (GN). Over many years, GN has failed to deliver on its commitment to provide Inuit language education. Now, by making recent amendments to Nunavut’s language laws, the government has explicitly changed course and broken its commitment to deliver Inuit language instruction across subjects after grade 4.
Inuit Educators Gathering

The Inuit Educators’ Gathering will provide Inuit educators and aspiring educators a forum for information exchange on Inuktut education, teaching materials and approaches, existing and new professional development opportunities, and assist in the building of a support network. This gathering is guided by a planning committee who is working on an agenda that will be meaningful to all Inuit educators.
