Students will join in French immersion celebration week events from Feb. 4-10, 2019, marking 50 years of the education program helping students in B.C. to become bilingual.

Students and families living in Langley’s Latimer neighbourhood will benefit from the purchase of a 1.9-hectare property to be the home of a new elementary school.

A land purchase will lay the groundwork for a future school for hundreds of students in one of British Columbia’s fastest growing communities.

As the next phase of renewing the Province's education funding model, B.C.'s Minister of Education is asking parents, teachers, support staff, school administrators and others to help shape the path forward to make education funding work better for students in the classroom.

Secondary students with a passion for coding and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will now have more opportunities to expand their skillsets and participate in the Play to Learn program, thanks to a one-time $230,000 provincial government grant that will expand the program.

Indigenous students in B.C. are completing secondary school at the highest rate in history with increased supports and an improved, modern curriculum that accurately reflects the history of Indigenous peoples in British Columbia.

As enrolment continues to grow, more students in the K-12 public education system are benefiting from increased investments and additional teachers supporting students.
