As part of the Province of British Columbia’s commitments to truth, reconciliation, and anti-racism, the Ministry of Education will be implementing an Indigenous-focused graduation requirement for all students. The proposed model for the new requirement will allow secondary students to meet the requirement through a variety of existing and new course options, beginning in the 2023/24 school year.
Additional information on the new Indigenous-focused graduation requirement is available here:
