    ISSUE | 02 the Honourable Jackson Lafferty, the leaders met with WHAT’S NEW? teachers, administrators, and the Beaufort Delta DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS The Amaujaq Education Council. National Centre for Inuit Education has been busy implementing the top four priorities identified by the National Committee on Inuit Education. The first priority is the development and implementation of a National Campaign on Mobilizing Parents. The goal of the campaign is to engage parents in improving attendance, and strengthen the level of home support for student success in school. The launch in Nunatsiavut is scheduled for November 6th. As Chair of the National Committee on Inuit Education I have also been profiling the national campaign through a series of speaking engagements including traveling to Yellowknife for the NWT Education Conference in April, the Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF) Presidents forum in Ottawa this past July, the National Inuit Youth I launched the National Campaign on Mobilizing Parents Summit in Kuujjuaq this August and the Beaufort Delta in February in Iqaluit along with Nunavut Premier School Council conference in August that was held in Eva Aariak and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated Vice Inuvik. What I am hearing from parents is an urgency President Jack Anawak. about keeping our children in school and improving the supports that are needed for kids who struggle in school. THIS WAS FOLLOWED UP WITH a launch in Nunavik Our Government partners on the National Committee in April when I spoke to delegates attending the Kativik are also working on parent engagement initiatives that School Board Education Council (KSB) meetings in complement our work at the national level.
