Indigenous education in Canada
Indigenous education in Canada refers to education in Canada for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, also known collectively as Indigenous peoples in Canada, per Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 the "Aboriginal peoples of Canada", or occasionally as F.N.M.I. students (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit).

Due to Canada's colonial history and federal constitution indigenous education may be a shared jurisdiction between Indian bands, Provincial and territorial governments, and the federal government.

Educational attainment has historically been significantly lower for indigenous peoples in Canada compared to the non-indigenous population, and this is considered one of Canada's major social problems. Significant debate and controversy surround the issue of how to improve indigenous education outcomes. In particular there is controversy over how to interpret and respond to the history of the Canadian Indian residential school system, which was imposed on indigenous students from the late 19th to the late 20th century. Debate also surrounds issues of funding, access (especially in remote communities), cultural appropriateness, language revival, and accommodations for FNMI students in non-indigenous school systems.
