Changes announced for BC secondary schools
VICTORIA — The BC government has announced new options for students entering their final years of secondary school.
A new graduation program starting next fall will continue to focus on basic elements like reading and writing, but also on skills that employers and post-secondary institutions are looking for, such as analytical, entrepreneurial and leadership skills
New course options will include environmental science, web development, digital media, engineering and robotics, and two new career education courses will be introduced.
“All students deserve to graduate with the necessary skills and competencies to help them continue learning and excel in the jobs of tomorrow,” says Rob Fleming, Minister of Education. “We’re pioneering important changes in classrooms today to make sure all students have the opportunity to explore where they want to go in life and build bright futures for themselves.”
