Educational Policy-Making in British Columbia in the 1970S and 1980S
Let’s Talk about Schools: Educational Policy-Making in British Columbia in the 1970s and 1980s Robert Whiteley he last quarter of the twentieth century is widely seen as a neoliberal age. Rooted in the thought of Austrian Friedrich Hayek and the ideas of Chicago economist Milton Friedman, Tand given purchase through the policies of Ronald Reagan in the United States, Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom, and other politicians elsewhere, neoliberal, or “post liberal” (Fleming 1991), governments align themselves ideologically with the political right. They are typified by centralization of power and financial and regulatory control and anti- union legislation, accelerating fiscally conservative policies that promote the private sector and reduce state involvement in the lives of citizens. Governance in British Columbia in the 1970s and 1980s largely followed this model (Dyck 1986). Through privatization and deregulation, the Social Credit governments that held office through most of these years transferred much control of the province’s economy from the public to the private sector. Accompanying these measures was the neoliberal view that education is a private rather than a public good (Apple 2006). Between the mid-1970s and the rewriting of the School Act in 1989, the funding allocated to education in British Columbia declined both in dollar terms and as a percentage of provincial GDP (Bowman 1990); school boards had little decision-making authority and were increasingly required to follow government dictates. Professor of administration and sometime coordinator of political action at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Richard G. Tow nsend (1988), characterizes politics in British Columbia’s educational system during the 1970s and 1980s as “discordant” and sees it as mirroring the bipolarity in the province’s political culture. -

ARTICLE Structuring Reality So That the Law Will Follow: British Columbia Teachers’ Quest for Collective Bargaining Rights Sara Slinn Introduction The British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (bctf), representing all public elementary and secondary school teachers in the province, is one of the largest and most powerful unions in British Columbia (BC). From the early days of its existence, bctf has sought to negotiate a full array of issues on behalf of teachers, and do so with an unrestricted ability to strike at the individual school district (or local) level. It has employed a sustained, sophisticated series of strategies to achieve these objectives, quickly adapting to changing political and legal environments. The bctf has had significant success in advancing its labour relations agenda, establishing a different trajectory for teachers than for most public sector workers in Canada. -

The Decline and Fall of the British Columbia Ministry of Education, 1972-19961
From Educational Government to the Government of Education: The Decline and Fall of the British Columbia Ministry of Education, 1972-19961 Thomas Fleming The quarter of a century between 1972 and 1996 witnessed the end of the Imperial Age of school administration in British Columbia. The historical pattern of strong central control which had directed the course of provincial schooling for a century was beginning to unravel even before the 1960s were over, prompted in part by a malaise inside educational government and by new forces in and outside schools. Although provincial authorities entered the 1970s still confident in their capacity to control and direct public education, the Ministry of Education found itself before the decade ended, like Napoleon’s army retreating from Moscow, bewildered by an unfamiliar landscape and harried on all sides by adversaries who seemed to materialize from nowhere, each with its own special brief for provincial schools. By the 1980s, the province’s education bureaucracy, once the dominant and solitary voice in school affairs, was obliged to compete on the public policy stage with a chorus of others eager to contest the province’s right to speak on behalf of children. By the mid-1990s, the rising power of the teachers’ Federation, increasing parental and public demands for participation in educational decisions, and the Ministry of Education’s ambiguity about its own purpose had all served, in various ways, to reduce the province’s leadership in public education. Le quart de siècle compris entre les années 1972 et 1996 témoigne de la fin de l’époque « impériale » de l’administration scolaire en Colombie-Britannique. -

Department of J(cXZGtc?LQ.. k-.az The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date I I I s CQ-tQI DE-6 (2/88) ii ABSTRACT As Canadian higher education expanded from the 1950s, new institutions sought institutional legitimacy, meaning credibility and prestige in relation to educational peers and the state. Three dimensions to institutional legitimacy were identified: hierarchies of institutions, curricula and pedagogies; horizontal status within institutional sectors and fields of knowledge; and external legitimacy in relation to the state. New distance education institutions have found institutional legitimacy unusually problematic because of widespread scepticism about an educational form in which teacher and learner are separated in time and/or space. -
