A two-year study has found major failures in the education of Innu children in Labrador, CBC News reports.
The study looks into the education system established by Canada when an Innu community was relocated in 2002. Among other problems, the report said teachers aren't trained in the Innu language and that Innu children are being taught using culturally inappropriate methods.
The study also found that only one in three Innu children attends school. Since 1993, only three Innus have graduated from high school, the report said.
