GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES - ‘’HOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE’’ UNIVERSITY CENTRE

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES ‘’HOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE’’ UNIVERSITY CENTRE Following the dialogue initiated with universities in 2022 around building the House of Knowledge, the FNEC presented the project and consulted the senior administration of several other universities in Quebec. [...] Let us recall that the vision of the House of Knowledge is of a key university actor in Quebec, providing a fl exible physical and virtual space of teaching, training, research, support, and cultural safety to students; a House of Knowledge created by and for the First Peoples in partnership with other institutions of higher learning. [...] We note that the assembly adopted the fi rst indicators relating to the potential that the Regional Education Agreement brings to ‘’high-performing schools’’. [...] Among the topics of discussion were: • Work on implementing the Regional Education Agreement • Adoption of the resolution ‘’Mandate to the FNEC Secretariat - Draft legislation to ensure the sustainability of the REA’’ • Adoption of the resolution ‘’Support for the FNEC Secretariat and Chiefs Committee in their efforts to resolve systemic and institutional issues in education’’ • FNEC Chiefs Commit. [...] The team made the minister aware of Kiuna Institution’s fi nancial challenges and provided an update on the status of the First Peoples university project/’’House of Knowledge,’’ whose business plan development is funded by the ministry of higher education (ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur).
