: DRIVING APPLIED EDUCATION FOR A STRONGER BC
BCIT EDUCATION PLAN 2026–2031
Five years. Three commitments. One clear direction.
Rooted in BCIT’s Strategic Plan and shaped by broad community input, these three commitments focus our efforts where they matter most: creating meaningful, applied learning experiences for every student.

1. Strengthen Faculty Development Pathways
2. Enhance Instructional Spaces and Tools
3. Foster Reciprocal Industry–Faculty Collaboration
COMMITMENT 2:
TEACH WHAT MATTERS. TEST WHAT’S REAL.
We ensure learning is meaningful and assessment is credible—through initiatives that support fair, ethical, and real-worldaligned evaluation.
4. Promote Program-Level Coherence in Evaluation
5. Advance Meaningful Assessment Practices
6. Refine and Strengthen Academic Integrity
COMMITMENT 3:
CLEAR THE PATH. SUPPORT THE CLIMB.
We cultivate conditions for student success by implementing initiatives that strengthen foundations, expand flexibility, and encourage every student’s effort, growth, and progress.
7. Lay Strong Foundations for Student Success

9. Reinforce Supports Beyond the Classroom
TOGETHER, WE BUILD WHAT’S NEXT
Led by the Office of the Provost and Vice-President Academic, this Education Plan—powered by a coordinated implementation strategy—translates vision into action: supporting great teaching, advancing student success, and deepening the partnerships that keep B.C.’s workforce strong and future-ready.
The future is applied. The future is now. And BCIT is ready.
