About FPSE
FPSE is the provincial voice of 10,000 faculty and staff at BC’s universities, colleges, institutes, and private-sector institutions. We provide resources and access to legal services, and we engage in advocacy on behalf of our 18 member locals and the public post-secondary system.
We are pleased that the BC Legislature's Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services has included in its report several of the Federation of Post-Secondary Education's recommendations to the Committee.
Highlights include recommendations to restore full and sustained funding to Adult Basic Education and English as a Second Language programs and that government undertake a comprehensive review of the post-secondary funding formula.
The Committee's report recognizes the significant pressures facing the post-secondary system in BC and suggests concrete steps for government action.
As the report states, "advanced education is clearly a priority that reaches across the entire province." We hope that Minister Wilkinson and Premier Clark will move quickly to act on these recommendations.
It's the right thing to do.
