In a ceremony at Government House, Premier John Horgan provided awards to winners of the Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education, which recognize exceptional teachers, support staff and administrators throughout the province.

The Province is helping make back-to-school more affordable for students and their families who are struggling with rising costs of living due to global inflation.

More students in grades 11 and 12 will be able to earn both high school and post-secondary credits toward careers in early childhood education with the introduction of 30 new dual-credit programs at school districts throughout B.C.

More early childhood educators (ECEs) are furthering their education goals with financial support from the ECE Education Support Fund.

Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education and Child Care, has released the following statement in celebration of graduation week:

Government is updating its K-12 education health and safety guidelines to require masks for kindergarten to Grade 3 students. 

Back to school plans for K-12 families are now posted for all 60 school districts, so parents and families can prepare to support their children for a safe return to the classroom.
