Nunavut MLAs unanimously pass Bill 25
Nunavut’s MLAs voted unanimously on Thursday, Nov. 5, to pass Bill 25, the Act to Amend the Education Act and the Inuit Language Protection Act. The bill sets 2039 as the new deadline for extending the use of Inuktut as a language of instruction across the school curriculum from kindergarten to Grade 12. The step-by-step implementation schedule starts in 2026. Education Minister David Joanasie said the bill is an evolving document that is meant to be amended as it’s implemented. Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., which has long called on the Nunavut government to make greater efforts to teach students in Inuktut, said in a news release that the bill’s passage means the government “chose to join the long history of colonial destruction of Inuit language and culture.” See our story later at Nunatsiaq.com.
