What is an Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement?An Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement (EA) is a working agreement between a school district, all local Aboriginal communities, and the Ministry of Education. EA’s are designed to enhance the educational achievement of Aboriginal students. The EA establishes a collaborative partnership between Aboriginal communities and school districts that involves shared decision-making and setting specific goals to meet the educational needs of Aboriginal students. This includes the integration of Aboriginal perspectives into learning experiences. EA’s highlight the importance of academic performance and more importantly, stress the integral nature of Aboriginal traditional culture and languages to Aboriginal student development and success. Fundamental to EAs is the requirement that school districts provide strong programs on the culture of local Aboriginal peoples on whose traditional territories the districts are located. Enhancement Agreements are intended to continually improve the quality of education achieved by all Aboriginal students.
