description | Little is known about Nunavut students’ experiences in high school and post-secondary education, in particular their self-defined determinants of success. This study aimed to understand factors that influence secondary school completion, post-secondary education, and education success for students from Nunavut. An online survey was conducted with 91 current post-secondary students in 2018–19. Results found that students articulated complex support needs that influence their success, with roles for parents, teachers, and the community. Students identified support needs gaps, primarily in the form of funding distribution and delivery. Recommendations include increased financial, counselling, and mental health support for Nunavut students. On en sait peu sur l’expérience des étudiants du Nunavut du secondaire et du postsecondaire, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les facteurs de réussite qu’ils ont eux-mêmes déterminés. Cette étude vise à comprendre les facteurs qui influencent l’obtention du diplôme d’études secondaires, l’éducation postsecondaire et la réussite scolaire des élèves du Nunavut. Un sondage en ligne a été mené auprès de 91 étudiants de niveau postsecondaire en 2018–19. Les résultats ont révélé que les élèves expriment des besoins de soutien complexes qui influencent leur réussite; les parents, les enseignants et la communauté ayant tous un rôle à jouer. Les élèves ont identifié des lacunes en matière de soutien, principalement liées à la répartition et à la distribution du financement. Les recommandations comprennent un soutien accru en matière de financement, de counseling et d’aide en santé mentale pour les étudiants du Nunavut. |
