  • BC speeding up expansion of post-secondary programs in ECE

The province says it's accelerating the expansion of post-secondary programs in early childhood education.

The Ministry of Education and Child Care says 16-million-dollars will create 400 new spaces in each of the next three years.

It says the new grads will help address staffing pressures and prepare for anticipated job openings in the coming decade.
