Introduction: Mr. Chair, it is my honour to present the 2013-14 spending estimates for the Ministry of Advanced Education. Before I begin, I would like to introduce my Deputy Minister, James Gorman. Introduce other staff as appropriate. 2 AED-2013-00151 Page 4 British Columbia is home to outstanding post- secondary institutions that support world-class research and excellence in many fields. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of the dedicated faculty and administrators who plan and deliver post-secondary programs throughout our province. They enable students to pursue their educational and career goals, and contribute to building healthy, prosperous families and communities, and B.C.’s and the world’s economies. While I am new to the ministry, I have for a long time been aware of the vital role post-secondary education plays in helping British Columbians reach their full potential. 3 AED-2013-00151 Page 5 I’m looking forward to meeting and working with the administrators at our post-secondary institutions over the coming weeks and months. (PAUSE) Affordability / Accessibility of Post-secondary Education: We know that education is the key to British Columbia’s success in a knowledge-based global economy ... and we believe that students deserve the opportunity to meet their education and career goals. Investing in post-secondary education has been a priority for our government since 2001 and it continues to be a priority for us today. 4 AED-2013-00151 Page 6 We are still just as committed to making post- secondary education affordable and accessible for British Columbians. In 2013/14 we are investing $1.9 billion for operating grants – a 47 per cent increase since 2001. This is along with more than $460 million in capital investments over the next three years directed to facility rehabilitation, renewal and expansion to support B.C.’s skilled workforce of tomorrow. These funds support projects such as: o A lab at the University of British Columbia to study the effects of land use and climate changes on our ecosystems, ― 5 AED-2013-00151 Page 7 o Emily Carr University of Art and Design’s redevelopment project, ― o Camosun College’s trades renewal project, and ― o The trades project at Okanagan College. These investments will continue to build on the work we’ve done over the last 12 years – with over $2.3 billion invested for more than 1,200 capital projects at post-secondary institutions across the province. Ensuring that facilities are in optimal condition is critical. 6 AED-2013-00151 Page 8 More than 440,000 students will enrol this year in at least one course at one of 25 public post- secondary institutions – taking classes at one of our many campuses, satellite offices or learning centres. We are providing students with choices about where and what they study, and making education affordable and accessible with financial aid packages to suit their needs. In doing so, we are backing our commitment to help British Columbia’s students get their education. Tuition in B.C. has been Canada’s fourth lowest for six years running, and since 2005 increases have remained capped at two per cent. We will continue to keep education affordable. 7 AED-2013-00151 Page 9 The two per cent increase is less than half of the national average increase of five per cent. And that’s not all – we continue to take extra steps so our students can afford a degree or diploma. Any student who applies for student financial assistance and qualifies will receive it. In 2012-13, qualified students accessed more than $739 million in federal and provincial financial assistance. This included more than $223 million in B.C. student loans. (PAUSE) 8 AED-2013-00151 Page 10 Administrative Service Delivery Transformation: Of course, capping tuition increases is not the only thing we’re doing to keep costs affordable for taxpayers and students. Keeping administrative costs down and improving service delivery at our post-secondary institutions is also critically important in these times of fiscal restraint. We are collaborating with our public post- secondary institutions to generate cost savings across the system. (PAUSE) 9 AED-2013-00151 Page 11 Jobs Plan / Meeting Labour Market Demands: Ensuring that British Columbians are ready and able to fill highly-skilled, well-paying trades jobs around B.C. continues to be a high priority for our government. Under the BC Jobs Plan we are encouraging more young people to consider careers in the trades. We are doing this by providing modern, stimulating learning environments that are close to home, and close to employers and industries. With every investment in facilities, equipment and programs we’re sending an important message: That choosing a trade is a very smart choice, offering a secure future in a rewarding, respected, skilled with a good pay cheque in your back pocket. 10 AED-2013-00151 Page 12 To encourage more students to consider a career in the trades, our government is also providing $10 million for short-term training. That means 1,700 students are getting trained in careers such as diesel engine mechanics, electricians and other in-demand skilled jobs. And we’re improving the timeliness of apprenticeship completions to help more workers get jobs more quickly. We believe it’s important to leverage the expertise of institutions and develop partnerships and enhance collaboration in sectors such as agriculture, and mining and oil and gas development. 11 AED-2013-00151 Page 13 And we are working with our post-secondary institutions to provide modern, stimulating learning environments that are close to home, and a good fit with our employers and industries. For example, our Skills Plan is providing $75 million to support trades facilities such as those I just mentioned at institutions here in Victoria and in the Okanagan. (PAUSE) Aboriginal Learners’ Success: Another area that is integral to the success of B.C.’s Jobs Plan is to ensure that Aboriginal learners have access to post-secondary education. 12 AED-2013-00151 Page 14 We want to ensure training is relevant, responsive, respectful and receptive to Aboriginal learners and communities. Relationships between public post-secondary institutions and Aboriginal communities are based on mutual respect.

  • BC Veterinarians Need Your Help Combined
    Hello If you wish to help BC veterinarians address the shortage of veterinarians, you may wish to write your local MLA and ask them to support and increase to the number of BC students trained as veterinarians. Below is a sample email for you to send to your local MLA. You can also add to the email or replace it with your own. After the sample email, on page 2 and 3, is a list of all MLA email addresses to help you to find your MLA contact information. Should you wish to learn more about the shortage of veterinarians and the need for additional BC students to be trained as veterinarians, please scroll down to page 4 to read our summary document. Your help is greatly appreciated! Dear MLA, I wish to add my name to the list of British Columbians who find the shortage of veterinarians in BC unacceptable. We understand that BC can add an additional 20 BC student seats to BC’s regional veterinary college, but that the government declined to do so, citing costs. In the interest of animal health and welfare issues including relief from suffering and unnecessary death, public health, and biosecurity for BC, we ask you to ask the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 BC seats at WCVM effective immediately. As a BC resident, I want my voice added as an individual who cares about the health and welfare of animals and who wishes the government to provide funding to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in BC.

  • Environmental Scan 2019
    Environmental Scan 2019 INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH Executive summary The Environmental Scan 2019 considers the demographic and economic context, government priorities, and trends in post-secondary education that might relate to Langara’s mission as Canada’s pathways college. There are three parts in the Environmental Scan 2019: the first discusses broader trends in the Vancouver area and British Columbia as a whole; the second discusses trends specific to Langara and other post-secondary institutions in the province; and the third discusses Langara’s internal enrolment trends and ongoing initiatives. Broad external trends The largest group of Langara students are in the 18- to 24-year-old age range and live in the College’s service area, made up of the Vancouver, Richmond, and Burnaby school districts. While the populations of the College service area and of BC as a whole continue to grow, we have seen decreases in the population aged 18-24, a trend that is reflected in decreasing numbers of grade 12 students in local high schools. This decrease is expected to reverse by the end of the 2020s; meanwhile, recent trends suggest Metro Vancouver will continue to see new residents arrive from other provinces and from outside Canada. Strong economic growth in BC has caused the unemployment rate to drop to its lowest level since the 2008/09 recession. With the lowest unemployment rate and the highest job vacancy rate in Canada, BC is in need of skilled workers; however, the availability of work might be an incentive to delay post-secondary training. Over the next decade, more than three-quarters of new job openings will require some level of post-secondary education.
