What an awesome achievement. Are the numbers of male graduates a reflection of that particular program or is it an educational system-wide problem?
Young Inuit men seem to left out the loop.

No. Never. We need more affirmative action programs to help women who have been suppressed for too long.

It is actually quite a harsh reality. Young men are not being educated because they are becoming “hunters” for those of you who are unfamiliar with this term (from a northern slant) it applies to those who are unemployed, unemployable and could not or were not compelled to attend school. Hunting eventually falls by the wayside as you become a bootlegger or drug dealer requiring less work/skills. Leaving solely the women to become educated, work and raise children-normally all at once. Taking the kids to work and school while earning a salary or completing high school or a course is all too common. While the man/hunter “is fixing his sleep.” This is not an exception as it is becoming the norm. Wondering why mental illness in the North is on the rise…?

Don’t knock hunters. Hunting is hard and dangerous work. You don’t need much schooling to become a hunter (but these days it helps). However, It takes considerable intelligence, plus years of training and experience to become a hunter.
Please don’t confuse hunters with drug dealers and drop-outs.
