The Matawa Education Department provides quality, accessible, community based educational support services for seven Matawa First Nation schools; Aroland, Eabametoong, Nibinamik, Long Lake #58, Ginoogaming, Neskantaga, and Webequie First Nations.

Our role is to support any educational initiatives that result in school improvements and that positively impact the quality of education provided for students. Supporting the local education authorities, and networking with Aboriginal organizations, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, the Provincial Ministry of Education, School Boards, and Post Secondary and Secondary/ Elementary institutions is an important responsibility of the Matawa Education Department. Adult education and training are also a strong focus of this department.
