Review of systemic racism in education
YCAO and the Yukon First Nation Education Directorate (YFNED) are working together to review racism in education.
The goals of the review are to:
Look at how racism impacts Indigenous and other students of colour.
Understand how students, parents, and communities experience racism.
See if students in Whitehorse and the communities experience the same type of racism.
