IBED Program - Convocation 2019

MUN grads make history as 1st graduates in B'Ed supporting Inuit focus and language

The IBED program, the first of its kind, was offered by Memorial's Faculty of Education in partnership with the Nunatsiavut Government, designed for the Labrador Inuit educational context, and delivered at the Labrador Institute.

The Labrador Inuttitut Training Program ran concurrent with the education program, meaning students graduated with both an education degree as well as an Inuttitut language proficiency certificate.  The IBED program indigenized teacher education and was specifically relevant to the Inuit culture.
