$14 MILLION ALLOCATION

Post-Secondary Education Minister Russell G.
Fraser, at a meeting with chairmen of boards and
principals of colleges and institutes announced a
$14 million allocation from the Fund for Excellence
in Education on June 18, 1986.

The announcement brings to over $29 million the
Excellence Fund allocation to the college/institute
system. In the first round, $7.3 million was pro-
vided to adjust base budgets. On May 9, the
Minister announced a further $7.7 million.

$14 million cont...

The $14 million allocation today will provide

$2 million for a system-wide equipment upgrade
and a further $2 million for college/institute
computer enhancement. A third allocation of

$2 million will be used as an incentive to have
institutions establish innovative arrangements with
one another and with industry to ensure availability
of appropriate specialized equipment at efficient
costs.

The remaining $8 million will fund 40 specific
projects.

The Minister praised the institutions for their
creativity and for their co-operation and assistance
in helping him to gain Cabinet approval of the

40 projects.

The Minister said that he expected the funds to
materially affect the institutions' offerings this
September, vastly increasing the options available
to students of post-secondary age in B.C.

"This I think will demonstrate this government's
commitment to education in the province. It
will go a long way to expanding the educational
infrastructure necessary to keep this province
competitive in terms of skilled manpower,"
said Fraser.

Excellence in Education, Fraser - and Environment

Ridge Community Education Centre. The alloca-
tion will also be used to develop and implement
an entertainment arts program to prepare people
with both entry level skills and skills upgrading in
the rapidly growing film and entertainment indus-

tries.
