MP Niki Ashton sent out a letter outlining concerns that the Federal Government has not done enough to address the safety of First Nations children returning to school during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Ashton stated that many Indigenous schools are overcrowded, have a lack of proper ventilation, and inadequate access to materials that will keep students safe.

She goes on to say that she believes that First Nations students deserve to have access to education and a healthy and safe learning environment.
