Elected
Officials
In Nunavik, governance in education is spearheaded by the Council of Commissioners. In each community, parents and local residents can also get involved as members of the Education Committee.
Council of Commissioners
Formed by 14 individuals elected by universal suffrage for a 3-year mandate, the Council also includes one appointed Kativik Regional Government representative.
Below you will find a summary of key points discussed during the Council of Commissioners’ most recent meeting. Meeting highlights do not replace the minutes of the Council of Commissioners meetings.
The Council of Commissioners meets four times a year, typically during the months of October, December, March and June. Additional meetings may be held as necessary.
Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec (MEQ)
The requirements for a commissioner are similar to those imposed on administrators who serve on the board of directors of a school service centre. In this regard, commissioners are strongly encouraged to take the mandatory training courses developed by the Ministry of Education and its partners.
However, since Kativik Ilisarniliriniq is not governed by the Education Act (CQLR, c. I-13.3 
), certain parts of these courses must be taken in accordance with the special rules that apply to Kativik Ilisarniliriniq under the Education Act for Cree, Inuit and Naskapi Native Persons (CQLR, c. I-14 ).
It is also important to note that the General Administration offers personalized training courses for plenary commissioners. These courses cover topics such as their roles and responsibilities, ethics, remuneration, and the powers and tools necessary to carry out their mandate.
Executive Committee
and Council members
Kativik Ilisarniliriniq implements the policies and decisions enacted by the Council of Commissioners and its Executive Committee. The Council of Commissioners is the highest authority to which the Director General is accountable.

Education Committees
The Education Committees are formed of locally elected Nunavik residents who serve a 2-year mandate.
Education Council
In addition to their regular meetings, selected members of the local Education Committee meet at the Education Council every two years.
This consultative forum is an opportunity for them to meet and discuss local priorities related to education.
These meetings also inform the school board and the Council of Commissioners on desired regional orientations.
The next meeting will be held in 2023.
