    1. How does the problem present itself in my commission?

    Education in human rights. Canada has one of the best quality of education in the world. As we
    can see, Canada spends approximately 7% of its GDP on education and most schools in Canada
    have introduced for some years now one or more initiatives such as native studies, anti-racism,
    study of aboriginal cultures and crafts, visits and assistance to elders and other community
    members, and content in areas such as indigenous languages, indigenous spirituality, indigenous
    knowledge of nature and visits to existing indigenous communities.
