In July we shared that the Anishinabek Educational Institute (AEI) had completed the Expert Review Panel step of the Organization Review approval process, bringing the Institute one step closer to becoming an accredited institute.
Today, we are incredibly proud and excited to share that AEI achieved Organization Review approval at last week’s Indigenous Institutes Quality Assessment Board (IIQAB) meeting. AEI is now eligible to deliver standalone postsecondary programs.
“One of the biggest steps forward that a post-secondary education institution can take, is to go through the rigorous process of quality assurance holding itself to the highest standards of accreditation. First Nation learners deserve nothing but the best and the highest standards; and throughout its accreditation review, the Anishinabek Educational Institute has never lost sight of this commitment to the highest standards, and equally never lost sight of who their students are. This is just a tremendous accomplishment for them and very well deserved.”
Sean Monteith, Executive Director
