The Board of Governors wishes to ensure that Inuit languages and culture are the foundation for adult learning at Nunavut Arctic College. In October 2006 the Board of Governors endorsed the Teaching and Learning Principles developed by the Language and Culture Committee to provide guideposts for the College to become an inclusive learning institution that respects and honours Inuit languages and culture. The Board also wants further credit and non-credit development of Inuit Visual and Performing Arts and welcomes partnership opportunities with communities, schools, regional Inuit associations and the Nunavut Culture School. The Board of Governors considers the establishment of bilingual learning environments to be an urgent need.
