A recent graduate of Inuksuk High School in Iqaluit says it s time for Nunavut to have its own curriculum.
Zan Tao, who just finished Grade 12, wrote a paper on the need for a made-in-Nunavut curriculum for her Aulajaaqtut 12 class, in which she interviewed students and teachers about the curriculum.
In an interview with CBC, Tao said the material often feels irrelevant to students.
