House of Knowledge takes shape as QC universities, FNEC sign historic agreement 

The First Nations Education Council (FNEC) has signed a framework agreement with all Québec universities to lay the foundations for the House of Knowledge (Maison des savoirs), the first university teaching establishment in Québec made by and for Indigenous peoples. Under this agreement, FNEC and the universities will draft and present a business plan for the establishment by 2027. They will focus on shaping a curriculum that facilitates face-to-face and online learning while ensuring cultural safety for Indigenous students. The partners will also put measures in place to enhance access to higher education among Indigenous peoples, including through the recognition of prior learning and transition programs.
