As a former elementary school teacher and deeply committed lifelong learner, I believe that post-secondary education and skilled trades training are key to empowering all British Columbians who want to unlock their inner potential and build rewarding futures.  \nThe global COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to everyone in our postsecondary sector. I would like to acknowledge the hard work of students, faculty and staff at institutions across the province who continued to follow the guidance of the public health office and prioritize the health and safety of themselves and each other throughout the pandemic. It has been a daunting time, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  \nMy ministry worked closely with health and safety experts, student groups, labour, Indigenous partners and post-secondary institutions and partners to develop the COVID-19 Go-Forward Guidelines for BC’s Post-Secondary Sector that, along with institutional health and safety plans, assisted the sector in reducing the spread ofCOVID-19 on campuses and that will provide guidance on a safe return to campuses this September.  \nThe pandemic ","cbCaia7SmhnLAAJe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia7SmhnLAAJe","pdf",439505,25,"English","# Minister’s Accountability Statement\n# Letter from the Minister\n# Purpose of the Annual Service Plan Report\n# Purpose of the Ministry\n# Strategic Direction\n# Operating Environment\n# Report on Performance: Goals, Objectives, Measures and Targets\n# Financial Report\n# Discussion of Results\n# Financial Summary\n# Income Statement for Post-Secondary Institutions\n# Capital Expenditures\n# Appendix A: Agencies, Boards, Commissions and Tribunals","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2020/21 Annual Service Plan Report?\",\"answer\":\"It fulfills requirements under the Budget Transparency and Accountability Act by reporting the ministry’s actual performance results against forecasted targets from the prior Service Plan.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the Minister’s Accountability Statement cover?\",\"answer\":\"It states that the Minister is accountable for the ministry’s reported actual results and compares them with the expected results identified in the 2020/21–2022/23 Service Plan.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report address the impact of COVID-19 on post-secondary education?\",\"answer\":\"It acknowledges unprecedented challenges in the post-secondary sector, describes collaboration to develop COVID-19 Go-Forward Guidelines for BC’s post-secondary sector, and links these to institutional health and safety plans for a safer return to campuses.\"}]","Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training 2020/21 Annual Service Plan Report | PDF",1792055329,63]
