EXTERNAL MATTERS -
EDUCATION

On February 17, the "Transition
Steering Committee" met in Vic-
toria, to discuss the final resolution
of the matter of English as a
Second Language Programs and
Adult Basic Education Programs
and the relationships between Col-
leges and School Districts in
delivering programs in these fields.
The work of the committee seems
to have been effective, in assisting
Government to understand the com-
plexities in these fields.

On February 23, the first meet-
ing of Lower Mainland CEO's of
Colleges occurred, under the new
organization of the Ministry. Dr.
Jack Newberry has been named
Director of Lower Mainland Col-
leges. The meeting was concerned
primarily with the forthcoming
public meeting hosted by the Mini-
ster of Advanced Education and
Job Training.

The following week, Douglas
College hosted a meeting involving
myself, Adrienne MacLaughlin,
and Peter Jones to discuss the pos-
sibility of joint long range
planning. That meeting was fol-
lowed by a meeting of the three of
us, plus educational planners (Al
Atkinson in our case) on March 17.
As a result of these two meetings,
