Review to Ensure Long-Term Sustainability

The Province of BC is launching an independent review of the public post-secondary education system. It aims to build strength and sustainability in the face of significant financial pressures and ensure the system is “well-positioned to support people in British Columbia and BC’s economic growth.”

Selkirk College looks forward to engaging in the review as we continue to focus on offering learners a high-quality, accessible education that aligns with the labour-market needs of our communities.  

Don Avison, KC, former BC deputy minister and former board chair of Emily Carr University of Art + Design, is leading the review, which looks at universities, colleges, technical institutes and Indigenous-led higher education providers. He will deliver a report to the Ministry of Post-Secondary and Future Skills by March 15, 2026.  

Employees are asked to direct any media inquiries to Communications and Public Engagement.
