The Department of Education’s section of the territory-wide business plan says it will implement the new Nunavut curriculum in Grades 2 and 3 during the 2026–27 fiscal year. It also lists support for bilingual education models in all schools from kindergarten to Grade 3, while planning for models in Grades 4 to 7. The same plan identifies instructional support and related assessments for Grades 2 and 3 as 2026–27 work. Source↗ Source↗

The actions affect elementary students, families, teachers and schools across Nunavut. They set out the government’s intended next step in a multi-year rollout: Grade 4 is listed for 2027–28, Grade 5 for 2028–29 and Grade 6 for April to October 2029. The record does not identify school-by-school readiness, a rollout date within the school year, dedicated curriculum funding or evidence that the Grade 2 and 3 work has already been completed.

The government says it will issue business-plan progress reports with the 2027–28, 2028–29 and 2029–30 main estimates. Those reports should provide the next formal public evidence of whether the 2026–27 curriculum and bilingual-education actions were completed or changed. Source↗ Source↗

The plan separately lists an Inuktitut screener tool for Grade 1 in 2026–27, with Grades 2 and 3 scheduled for 2027–28. It also calls for new standardized report cards in Grades 1 to 6 and training on the reporting system in 2026–27. These are planned actions, not completed-program announcements. Source↗ Source↗
