BC Grad Program:

British Columbia’s graduation program is changing. Our education system has been recognized internationally for its excellence and we can make it even better. The Ministry of Education has worked with educators, post-secondary institutions and employers to update the B.C. Graduation Program.

The new program will help students develop their full potential and equip them with the skills they need to adapt and thrive well into the future.

PHE (Physical and Health Education) Curriculum:

Sexual and mental health is part of the PHE (Physical and Health Education) curriculum. When people know information about their bodies, they are empowered to make healthy decisions. As our province has moved to a more holistic approach to health, knowing how our bodies and minds develop is vital to children keeping themselves healthy and safe.

Students will be learning about their bodies as they develop both physically and emotionally. This learning will take place in a safe space. Throughout the year, students will be learning a variety of topics.

All information shared will be from the Physical and Health Education curriculum, which you can view online at https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/physical-health-education

AI in Education - Supports for Families:

The materials here have been developed in collaboration with key partners in the B.C. education sector. Materials have been provided to assist school boards, district leaders, school leaders, teachers, and support staff in formulating local procedures and policies. In addition, these materials offer support for teachers in teaching AI concepts and related digital literacy skills in their classrooms. Furthermore, resources have been created for parents and caregivers to enhance their understanding of the role AI may play in their child's education and to outline digital literacy skills that can be cultivated at home if a child is using AI tools. Additionally, student-focused posters have been developed to support the responsible and safe use of AI in students’ learning endeavours.
