The purpose of this paper is to compare available second level services and funding levels provided in schools operated by a Tribal Council and a provincial school division. Differences in service levels and funding, the authors argue, must be addressed if equitable services and enhanced learning experiences are to be available to all students regardless of school type attended.

Ce qui n’avait pas été délégué était un système [d’éducation] qui pourrait supporter l’école » (p. 5) dans le déploiement de programmes éducationnels de qualité destinés aux étudiants autochtones. L’objectif de cet article est de comparer les services complémentaires et les niveaux de financement offerts dans les écoles administrées par les conseils de bandes à ceux prodigués par la division scolaire provinciale. Selon l’auteur, les différences existant en termes de niveaux de service et de financement doivent être abordées afin que tous les étudiants – quelque soit l’établissement scolaire fréquenté – reçoivent des services équitables ainsi que des expériences d’apprentissage bonifiées.
