Indigenous post-secondary students can face multitude of systemic barriers related to accessibility and accessing education.

These systemic barriers can make it challenging for Indigenous students to access and succeed in higher education.

Indigenous students face accessibility challenges in the areas of their own wellbeing, participation, engagement, and achievement. By addressing these systemic barriers, we can support Reconciliation and meet the needs of Indigenous students facing barriers in accessing post secondary education.
