A new initiative has been launched to address this gap by increasing representation and support for Indigenous educators. The program focuses on recruitment, training, and retention to help bridge the divide between schools and Indigenous students. Supporters argue this step is essential for improving educational outcomes and cultural connections in classrooms.
