2003/04 – 2005/06 SERVICE PLAN
Ministry of Education

Strategic Context

Vision

The ministry’s vision is a high quality education system that puts student achievement at the centre of all decision-making. British Columbia’s system already performs at high levels, which means that future improvements require continued commitment, creativity and innovation on the part of educators, administrators and the ministry in order for the province to remain at the forefront of educational performance.

Mission

The system’s mission is set out in the School Act with further details of the mandate in the Statement of Education Policy Order:

The purpose of the British Columbia school system is to enable all learners to develop their individual potential and to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to contribute to a healthy, democratic and pluralistic society and a prosperous and sustainable economy.

Continued progress towards the province’s social and economic goals depends upon well-educated citizens. School boards and independent schools have a primary responsibility for students’ intellectual development and a shared responsibility with families and the community for students’ human, social and career development.

The ministry is committed to some specific key beliefs and values for all staff.

Key Beliefs

We are a professional, non-partisan public service that respects the “Standard of Conduct for Public Service Employees”. We are an organization that works together to improve student achievement in the province of BC.

We agree that it is important to demonstrate the following behaviours in our daily interactions with one another:

  • We behave with integrity, promoting relationships of mutual trust, confidence and respect.
  • We provide high levels of service to everyone with whom we come in contact.
  • We will ensure information is shared in a relevant and timely manner.
  • We identify and acknowledge problems and work together to resolve them.
  • We acknowledge each other’s contributions
