In 2013/14, the Ministry of Advanced Education invested $1.9 billion in operating funding for the post-secondary education system, up from $1.4 billion in 2001. This direct investment resulted in $5.2 billion in annual expenses at British Columbia's (B.C.'s) public post-secondary institutions to provide high quality education to over 430,000 learners, awarded 56,000 certificates, diplomas and degrees and provided continued financial support for over 69,000 learners. The goal of this government is to make sure British Columbians are first in line to take advantage of the one million job openings in B.C. they are expecting by 2022. The ability of British Columbians to take full advantage of B.C.'s growing economy is determined in part by ensuring that the right training is available at their post-secondary institutions in different regions of the province. At the same time B.C. needs to ensure they are stretching the value of every dollar provided by taxpayers to B.C.'s institutions. To this end, B.C. has evaluated all of their programs and services as part of government's core review and identified key strategic shifts that will position their post-secondary system for greater success.
