Cowichan Tribes

With our new education jurisdiction law, we will have the control to certify and regulate our teachers. We will be able to approve courses required for graduation that best meet the needs of our students and establish our own graduation requirements. We will continue to teach our traditional ways, and with Education Jurisdiction and our new Law, will do more.

By overseeing our own education system we can make decisions in the best interests of our children. The education system will be guided by the Quw’utsun syuw’entst and snuw’uy’ulh as set out in Law and will serve as the basis for how the Quw’utsun education system will operate.
