The leader of Education is responsible for recruiting and leading a team of educators who will strive to ensure that our students have equal access to education funding as other Metis students do. The team shall strive to promote Metis history and traditions in the educational system, as well as within our communities.

Currently, the most important challenge the eastern Metis students face is the denial to bursaries and other funding, which is reserved to western students by publicly, privately, and government-funded organisations. The education team works diligently to redress that unfortunate situation, and we will keep our people appraised of the progress.

The MNOC is in the process of contacting various colleges and universities as part of our strategic plan to ensure that our Metis students will reach their full potential.

The MNOC firmly believes that every verified Metis in Canada should have equal access to education grants and bursaries, whether their Metis roots stem from the West or the East.
