What it does
The Education Facilities program contributes to the Departmental Result “Indigenous peoples have reliable and sustainable infrastructure”, by providing funding to: plan, design, construct/acquire, renovate, repair, replace, and operate and maintain federally- or band-operated elementary and secondary education facilities (including school buildings, teacherages , and student residences), and related facility services. Provincial school boards are also eligible for funding to plan, design, construct / acquire elementary and secondary education facilities serving First Nation students ordinarily resident on reserves. The program also provides funding to: acquire, replace, and repair furniture, equipment, and furnishing for schools, teacherages and student residences; identify education facility needs and develop education facility plans; and design and implement maintenance management practices.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2019-20. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Education | Earlier program (name match, medium confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $2.37B |
| Education Facilities | Earlier program (name match, high confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $456M |
| Health Facilities | Earlier program (name match, low confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $173M |
| Education Facilities | This program | 2019-20 – 2024-25 | $1.76B |

As such, it is possible that the First Nation community could construct, operate and maintain an asset on reserve without any requirement for an Asset Condition Reporting System inspection and a certain lag can occur in asset data reflecting present conditions due to the three-year inspection cycle fo… | Not met |

It should also be noted that due to COVID-19, ACRS inspections for 2020 were postponed. The target of 60% was developed based on the previous methodology. A new methodology was determined for the classifications of school assets. This will result in a new target to be established in 2022-23. | Met |
