N2  - The November 13 -14, 2004 Sectoral Follow-up Session on Lifelong Learning (Early Childhood Development, Kindergarten to Grade 12 (ECDE and K-12)) was the second in a series of sessions intended to fulfill the commitment made by Prime Minister Paul Martin at the conclusion of the April 19, 2004 Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable on Strengthening the Relationship.  The sectoral session are intended to explore new and innovative ideas through which the Government of Canada and National Aboriginal Leaders can work together to close the quality of life gap between Aboriginal Peoples and all Canadians.   The Lifelong Learning Sectoral Session on ECD and K-12 was designed to bring experts and practitioners together to address the specific session objectives established by the Planning Committee which were to:   "Develop a shared definition of success and recommended actions to achieve progress in ECD and K-12 priority policy areas (i.e. jurisdiction and control; access and integration; capacity building and sustainability; and research and curriculum development) relative to Inuit, Metis, First Nations and crosscutting themes (i.e. urban, women, northern/remote).  Seek joint commitment to an improved relationship among all stakeholders and a collaborative systems approach to improved ECD and K-12 outcomes, including delivery mechanisms and results-based performance measures."
