2008 Annual Parent Congress

Working Together: Parents as Partners in Education

British Columbia’s second annual Parent Congress honours Government’s commitment to communicate directly with BC education partners and to seek out their ideas for improving student achievement. The Parent Congress is an annual event that complements similar conversations taking place at the Annual Teacher and Student Congresses.

The Congress provides parents from around the Province with an opportunity to meet with the Minister of Education to discuss important issues and the role of parents in British Columbia’s education system.
