Who is paying to research whether BCeSIS is a good fit for First Nations schools?
To date, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) has paid for the research and work which has been undertaken to see if BCeSIS could be successful in First Nations schools. This has involved costs for an independent contractor, to support a part-time FNESC staff person, training for pilot schools, the development of an Implementation Plan and consultations with the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education has contracted Fujitsu Consulting to work with the First Nations Implementation team to develop the Implementation Plan.
