What is the role of the First Nations Education Authority? Is it to judge Community Education Authorities?
Although jurisdiction will rest with each Participating First Nation (PFN), the First Nations Education Authority (FNEA) will be a regulatory body exercising certain powers delegated to it by the PFNs, such as teacher and school certification and establishing curriculum standards. The purpose of the FNEA is to provide support to First Nations who wish to exercise jurisdiction over education. As all PFNs will have seats on the First Nations Education Authority, they are all part of determining standards Will the First Nations Education Authority provide templates for the First Nations Education law, Terms of Reference for a Community Education Authority, and other required documents? Yes, as these documents are developed they will be posted on the FNESC website.
