Students with disabilities enrolled at public post-secondary institutions are receiving more supports to help them succeed in their studies and train for a range of in-demand careers.

Anne Kang, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Training, has released the following statement:

Faculty and staff in British Columbia’s post-secondary sector now have more tools to help them recognize and respond to students living with mental health challenges.

Students studying at private post-secondary institutions throughout B.C. will benefit from changes to the Private Training Regulation and the Fees and Student Tuition Protection Fund Regulation.

Post-secondary institutions across British Columbia are continuing to plan for a safe return to in-person learning this fall.

Mental health supports are available to B.C. post-secondary international students who are affected by the new federal flight restrictions between India, Pakistan and Canada.

Here2Talk, British Columbia’s first dedicated mental health support service for post-secondary students, is marking a successful first year providing guidance and support to 3,285 B.C. students.

A provincial government investment of $150,000 will aid Camosun College in the exploration of educational opportunities for students in the B.C. film industry and the potential development of an on-campus film studio.
