Learning Report Shatters Aboriginal Stereotypes

Highlights of a report, "The State of Aboriginal Learning in Canada: A Holistic Approach to Measuring Success" states that First Nations, Inuit and Métis people display higher rates of volunteerism, informal learning and community involvement than non-Aboriginal Canadians. The report by the Ottawa-based Canadian Council on Learning recognizes that aboriginal learning is lifelong, goes beyond the classroom and is about more than just school dropout rates.
