The Toronto District School Board this month approved a survey that will ask all 270,000 students next fall to state their racial background as well as their parents' occupation and educational level.
From the start, Kenora's landmark experiment in race-based statistics — which educators prefer to call "self-identification" — was done with the full co-operation of First Nations communities as a way to monitor which programs help narrow the achievement gap between native and non-native children.
With the first batch of data, educators now know that exactly 33 per cent of the public board's students and 23 per cent of the Catholic students are from First Nations, with more clustered in the younger grades, which tells them the native population is on the rise.
