The Government of Nunavut’s Department of Education has announced the launch of the territory’s new curriculum, which is grounded in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, reflecting Inuit language and culture. The curriculum will be implemented over time, with one year of new curriculum introduced each year until the full K-12 implementation is achieved in 2036. The upcoming school year will see the new curriculum implemented in Kindergarten and Grade 1 in every community, with teaching materials made available in Inuktut and English. “This is an important milestone in supporting the vision of our elementary education system,” said NV Minister of Education Pamela Hakongak Gross. “The content developed in the made-in-Nunavut curriculum will help ensure that what students learn in schools is reflective of and applicable to the lived experiences and realities of Nunavummiut and responsive to students, families and communities.”
