Happy new year to all! January
symbolizes the beginning of a new
year and an opportunity to reflect
on the past. Why not start your
year by evaluating your learning

suggests that everyone learns in
different ways. Understanding your
learning style opens up different
avenues for personal development.

Access crisis

(Prepared by the Advanced
Education Council of B.C.)

British Columbia is at the
verge of a socioeconomic
crisis that results from
insufficient access to post-
secondary education and an
impending drop in the quality

in the province. There are two
main access-related issues
that may affect the viability
of our society and the

economy: First, we need more
access in the form of student
spaces and, second, we need
to ensure that the quality of
education remains high once
students have gained access
to our institutions. A closer
look at The Access Challenge
can be found at AECBC's

Web site: www.aecbc.be.ca.
