Kativik Ilisarniliriniq (KI) is the public school board serving Inuit communities in Nunavik, a remote region in northern Quebec, Canada, north of the 55th parallel. Established in 1975 under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, it operates 18 primary and secondary schools and 5 adult education centers across Nunavik's villages.[1][4][5][6] The curriculum aligns with the Quebec Education Program (QEP), ensuring graduates receive a Quebec Secondary School Diploma and are prepared for local and global job markets. Instruction occurs in Inuktitut, French, and English: kindergarten to grade 2 is fully in Inuktitut, with second languages (English or French) introduced progressively, reaching 50% by grade 3. Programs emphasize Inuit culture, values, history, and worldview through Inuguiniq, a holistic educational process fostering development via community and environmental engagement.[1][2][3][6] KI serves approximately 3,400 students and employs over 1,250 staff, with 90% based in Nunavik. Adult education includes high school courses and vocational training in classroom or distance formats. The board partners with universities like the University of Quebec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue and McGill for staff professional development.[1][6] Its mission centers on providing culturally rooted education that develops students holistically, rooted in Inuit pedagogy and preparing them for community roles.[1]
