2023 grad rate was 44% in small communities
Small communities in the N.W.T. are still trailing Yellowknife and regional centres on graduation rates, and some educators say the difficulty of finding and keeping teachers is making it worse.
Last month, the N.W.T. government released its 2022-23 report on the education system. The report examines trends in graduation rates, attendance, student wellbeing and other performance metrics.
In almost all cases, small communities continue to fall behind.
Last year, Yellowknife’s graduation rate was 71 per cent, while the graduation rate in regional centres was 57 per cent.
