AbstractLast August, teachers wholeheartedly welcomed Minister Fleming's announcement that tuition fees for adult learners, which had posed such a significant barrier to thousands of students, would be eliminated. As the Minister pointed out when making the announcement, "Tuition fees on Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English Language Learning (ELL) programs shut people out. British Columbia is re-opening those doors. Now any British Columbian can go back to school free of charge, upgrade their skills, and build a better life for themselves and their families." And now that these doors have rightfully re-opened and additional revenue from unjust tuition fees is no longer available, British Columbia must ensure that the Ministry provides resources for adult learners that are adequate to meet their learning needs. One of the first steps to ensuring vibrant and sustainable adult education in British Columbia's public education system is ensuring equitable funding for adult learners. The current funding formula underfunds adult students relative to their school-age peers. While the basic funding amount for a school-age full-time equivalent (FTE) student is $7,423 in 2018--19, it is just $4,696 for an FTE adult learning student-a gap of nearly 37%. Yet adult learners have the same, if sometimes not greater, learning needs as their school-age counterparts. If British Columbia wants them to succeed within the education system, they must be ensured that they are furnished with the resources to make this possible. Now that the decision to dispense with tuition fees has been made, teachers recommend that the independent panel entrusted with reviewing British Columbia's education funding formula ensure that adult education programs are funded on par with K-12 programs and that funding respond to unique adult education needs, including adding First Peoples and other similar courses to the list of funded courses, and including funding for preparation time as well as professional and curricular development. (As Provided).
