In September of 2016, students in grades K - 9 will follow a newly designed curriculum. The following has been taken from our Ministry of Education's website, explaining the rationale behind this change.
"British Columbia’s curriculum is being redesigned to respond to the demanding world our students are entering. Transformation in curriculum will help teachers create learning environments that are both engaging and personalized for students. At the heart of British Columbia’s redesigned curriculum are core competencies, essential learning and literacy and numeracy foundations."
Attached below are the drafts of the six competencies that will be covered in this curriculum:
