Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker. I would like to, at this time, just take a few minutes just to offer my condolences to my honourable colleague in the Nunakput riding to some of the students I went to school with that the Member mentioned earlier in this statement here.
My question is to the Education Minister, Mr. Speaker, is that in the sessional statement by the Premier, he quoted saying the education of our youth remains one of our most pressing challenges facing our territory and is a continued priority of our government. Mr. Speaker, what measures does the Minister have to compare the achievement levels of Grade 12 graduates in small communities to those larger centres? How are we doing in terms of the quality of our education in our smaller communities versus our larger centres? Thank you.
