MLI’s Free to Learn highlighted on CBC

Calvin Helin, co-author with Dave Snow of MLI study Free to Learn, was on CBC radio’s ReVision Quest recently. He joined host Darrell Dennis in taking a hard look at aboriginal education in Canada in a show that aired on August 11th and again on the 14th.

The program highlighted the key recommendation in Free to Learn calling for the creation of Aboriginal Post-Secondary Savings Accounts to be opened at birth for every registered aboriginal youth in the country.
