"The federal government is reluctant to admit it, but many experts agree that First Nations kids living on reserve get significantly less funding for their education than kids going to school anywhere else in Canada."
The issue of some students being given more allocated money for education over others needs to be addressed and dealt with immediately. Please give the following CBC interview a listen...

In some parts of the country some first nations students are given about half the amount as other students. This shortest of funding puts them at risk.
When taking a closer look at the Matawa Learning Center. It receives $13,000 in tuition per student. That’s the amount of money the federal government provides First Nations in the area for each school-aged person who normally lives on a reserve. By contrast, Thunder Bay’s French Catholic board received more than $27,000 per student, not including capital costs, from the provincial government last year.
How is this reconciliation?
