The Native Education College (NEC) has received conditional approval to offer their first Associate Degree in Indigenous studies, which signifies their growing capacity. Engagement and discussion will continue in 2024/25.
How are we working together?
Work continues between the partners to advance these initiatives. For work related to the NEC, through the StrongerBC Future Ready Action Plan, ongoing operational funding has been secured.
Are there challenges?
- Urban Indigenous Youth Education Project: Project costs are exceeding established funding. PSFS is identifying options for managing project budget and risks.
- Native Education College: Challenges faced by Native Education College include building capacity without additional public funding. PSFS is committed to seeking opportunities for additional funding.
