The University College of the North has announced that it will offer a joint Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education in Bunibonibee, Mathias Colomb, Peguis, and York Factory starting in 2024. The Kenanow Bachelor of Education program will provide students with a northern-based, Indigenous-focused teacher education program. “With increasing retirement rates among teachers in the north, a community-based, Indigenous-focused teacher education program is more important than ever,” said UCN President Doug Lauvstad. “UCN is responding to this important need by working in partnership with First Nation education authorities and sponsors to offer more programming in more communities than we ever have.”
