Performance Reporting

Performance at a Glance

This section is a comprehensive analysis of the performance measures identified in the preceding Service Plan 2002/03 – 2004/05. This analysis is organized to demonstrate how each measure aligns with the Ministry's three goals and nine objectives.

The Performance Reporting section is organized into three sections corresponding to the three goals, and each section is preceded by a graphic depiction illustrating the link between the objectives, strategies and performance measures for each goal.

The Ministry goals and objectives are multi-year commitments for the post-secondary education system. To gauge progress on achieving these goals and objectives, 22 performance measures were selected. In 2002/03, progress was made on all measures. Five priorities were completed in 2002/03, as indicated in this Report, and therefore the corresponding performance measures were not included in the 2003/04 Ministry Service Plan.

Performance Measures and Results

Goal 1: A Top Notch Post-Secondary Education System

Goal 2: Economic and Social Development

Deregulation

The Ministry has committed to a one-third reduction in total regulatory requirements by 2004 in line with the government's New Era commitment to reduce regulatory burden in British Columbia. Ministry legislation and associated policies were reviewed to identify opportunities for reducing the regulatory burden on Ministry stakeholders. This is a critical initiative to boost efficiency, reduce costs and stimulate innovation. Further details are contained in the Ministry's Three-Year Deregulation Plan.

For 2002/03, the Ministry reports its performance in eliminating regulatory requirements by means of Performance Measure 21: Regulatory requirements eliminated.
