A federal department grossly understated First Nations high school dropout rates despite billions in new spending, according to an internal report.
Department of Indigenous Services funding for First Nations-managed schools in the period from 2012 to 2018 increased from $1.3 billion a year to $1.5 billion. “Notably, funding increased to more than $1.8 billion per year from 2018 and is forecast in 2022 at approximately $1.9 billion,” wrote auditors.
Per capita costs increased from $12,000 to $14,000 per student, a 17 percent increase. “While the raw per capita funding for First Nations on-reserve is high relative to provincial ministries, it does not account for the legislative, economic and historical context of First Nations,” said the report.
Data indicates as few as 15 percent of students schooled on-reserve finish Grade 12.
“The status quo of the approach to education program support will not lead to desired outcomes and will not support reconciliation and self-determination,” said the Evaluation Of The Elementary And Secondary Program. “Results for First Nation learners have not shown improvements over recent years juxtaposed against significant funding increases in that time.”
Auditors found graduation rates were a fraction of those claimed by the department, and far below the success rate for First Nations children who attended ordinary public schools off-reserve. “The education success of First Nations students on-reserve is low and not showing broad signs of improvement,” said Evaluation.
The department has claimed a graduation rate of 45 percent, but only counted students who started their final year of high school. “When considering the students who did not make it to their final year the figure is far lower,” wrote auditors, adding: “There has not been measurable improvement over time.”

First Nations students who finished high school numbered: 44 percent in British Columbia;
39 percent in Atlantic Canada; 29 percent in Alberta; 25 percent in Québec; 24 percent in Saskatchewan; 20 percent in Ontario; 15 percent in Manitoba. Indigenous children fared better at off-reserve schools, said Evaluation.“The implications of these observations are no doubt deeply complex,” wrote auditors. “Economic, social, historical and geographic issues likely affect different regions, communities and individuals differently.”The point of billions […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
