In regards to the area of adult post-secondary education, we have adult education teachers in our communities, but in Fort McPherson we also have a program called Success in which what they do is they take students that have dropped out of the school system, are unemployed or on income support or whatnot, and reroute them through another program where it is being federally funded through the band in Fort McPherson. We are seeing some major success by way of that program, which is duplicating or doing the same as what adult education should be doing in our communities, but yet they don’t have students in adult education but the Success program is booked with students that have fallen through the cracks and dropped out of school at some point in their lives but now they are reintegrating themselves back into the education model and working themselves back into the workforce.

I would just like to know, how often do we re-evaluate these programs in our communities and the possibility of re-profiling those programs and restructuring them to meet the needs of the communities and programs that do work and are showing success, that we are able to either duplicate or in some cases re-profile some of these adult education dollars so that we can try to hit the majority of people that are going to require those additional resources, especially in the area of upgrading, and are basically people that have dropped out of the education system and are not trying, as young adults, to get themselves back into the system. I would just like to know if that is something that the department is doing and looking at re-evaluating that program in regards to adult and post-secondary education.
