Driving applied education for a stronger BC
Shaped by the voices of students, educators, and partners, the Education Plan focuses on what matters most—advancing applied education that supports student success and builds a stronger, more inclusive future for BC.
Our commitments
The three commitments in the Education Plan focus our efforts where they matter most: creating meaningful, applied learning experiences for every student.
- Empower educators. Enable impact.
We support faculty as applied educators and leaders—by advancing initiatives that strengthen the environments, systems, and partnerships that make great teaching possible. - Teach what matters. Test what’s real.
We ensure learning is meaningful and assessment is credible—through initiatives that support fair, ethical, and real-world-aligned evaluation. - Clear the path. Support the climb.
We cultivate conditions for student success by implementing initiatives that strengthen foundations, expand flexibility, and encourage every student’s effort, growth, and progress.
