More Aboriginal students are graduating from high school than ever before, or are staying in school longer, a provincial report says.

The 2010 Saskatchewan Education Indicators Report was revealed Monday.

A section of the report looks at the percentage of students entering and finishing high school within a three-year time-frame.

Assistant Deputy Education Minister Darren McKee says more and more Aboriginal students are meeting that goal or they’re staying in school longer.

McKee says that increased schooling will give those kids a better chance in the job market.
