In order to enhance its capability to retain accurate records, the Department of Education is currently in the process of implementing a new Student Records database to enhance the collection of student data in Nunavut.

This initiative also aims at streamlining and unifying data collection in Nunavut and providing Nunavut educators with refined views to student achievement.
