Disparity in the marginal return on education — another factor that discourages Canadian Aboriginal people from attending university?

As a special population group, Canadian Aboriginal people are always of interest to scholars and policy makers since the well-being of Aboriginal people was and is lower than the overall national well-being level. To improve Aboriginal people’s well-being, improvement in education attainment is universally regarded as a prerequisite. From the 1600s onward, modern education and religious indoctrination has been imposed on Aboriginal societies by British governance, and later, the Government of Canada. For historical reasons, aboriginal people tend to keep themselves away from modern education, which has deferred their progress to a richer life. Also, government funding for Aboriginal post-secondary education has been insufficient. Under such a situation, Aboriginal people might still want to go to university in hopes of receiving a higher wage. But will Aboriginal people be discouraged when looking at the disparity in marginal return on education between different ethnic population groups?
