BC Student Outcomes: The 2018 Highlights
BC Student Outcomes
Student feedback is essential to ensure continued quality and relevance in the education system. Through surveying former students, British Columbia (BC) Student Outcomes provides the information needed to help shape post-secondary education in British Columbia. In 2018, 92 percent of the former post-secondary students surveyed were satisfied or very satisfied with the education or training they received. Every year, BC Student Outcomes collects feedback from former students who took: (1) post-secondary programs, including associate degree, diploma, or certificate programs; (2) baccalaureate programs; and (3) apprenticeship, trades foundation or trades-related vocational training. In 2018, almost 29,000 former students were surveyed; key results from those surveys are presented in this report. [The outcomes surveys are conducted with funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training, the Industry Training Authority, and from B.C.'s public post-secondary institutions.
