B.C. will offer more choice for students and encourage them to bring their smartphones and iPads to school to help with learning under a plan announced today to modernize the education system.
Families will have a greater say in what, how, when and where their children learn, and schools will strive to identify and support struggling learners sooner, Education Minister George Abbott told a Richmond gathering of student leaders from around the province.
As well, there will be regular teacher evaluations for the first time in recent history to ensure quality teaching, he told the Student Voice organization in what could be the most significant reform of B.C. public schools in two decades.
“The world has changed and continues to change and in order to keep pace, we need to shift the way we look at teaching and learning,” he said in a release distributed as his speech began.
“This plan offers a way forward and an opportunity for every student to do their very best.”
