The Indigenous Education Branch has begun hosting an Indigenous Education Council (IEC) Implementation Learning Series. Please ensure that your Superintendent (or designates) and District Leads of Indigenous Education attend a session. The Indigenous Education team will provide support, guidance and answer questions about IEC implementation.
School districts and IECs are expected to submit their Terms of Reference to the ministry by May 31, 2025. The ministry recognizes that school districts are working to implement their IECs in a way that suits local needs and that this may take more time than initially anticipated. A reminder that IECs must approve the planning, spending and reporting of IEC Capacity Funding and Indigenous Education Targeted Funding for the 2025-26 school year as per the Indigenous Education Council Policy.
Please submit your IEC Terms of Reference via email to EDUC.IndigenousEducation@gov.bc.ca.
