The Government of Ontario has passed an amendment to the Accreditation of Teacher Education Programs to broaden the definition of permitted institutions to include Indigenous Institutes. The amendment was recommended by the Ontario College of Teachers’ Council. “Removing barriers from Indigenous Institutes to seek program accreditation supports Indigenous self-determination in postsecondary education and teacher preparation, and aligns with our responsibility to advance the Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action within our mandate as Ontario’s teaching regulator,” said OCT Registrar and CEO Linda Lacroix.
