College Task Force

Holds Local Meetings

Four members of the B.C. Task Force on the Communily College were in Terrace for two

public meetings yesterday and -

while their stated purpose was to receive. feed-back on the recenily released ‘Towards ihe Learning Community”, a working paper on community colleges in B.C., much of . the discussion -at yesterday morning's public meeting in the library of the Terrace Vocational Schout dealt with the direction a regional coltege in Terrace should take.

The feeling of the small crowd on hand (Jess (han 15 people)

seemed to be that any regional

college in Terrace should be emphasizing the career- oriented courses as opposed to academic offerings, a statement. first made. by RegionalDistricl’ ‘adminstrator John Pousette in a verbal brief,

and later echoed by other al the -

meeting, among them. Bob Hoffman of the Department af.

‘Labour in Terrace and a

representative of Public Works here.

The discussion . however, -°

ranged lo other topics, as well from the righting of wrongs regarding educational - op- portunities for women in. this” area to the question of. who

would. be ‘responsible. for’

maintenance “of a proposed regional college on the present

Faris. started the meeting, on informal affair, with a

‘review of the purpose of the

Task Force and their ac- ©.

‘ complishments to date.

He referred to the working paper and outlined a number of suggestions for the fulure of regional collges in this provinee.’:- :

presentation, |... Looe. “We-myself and others hape that the college might. concern itself with (he drop-oul - problem. I just finished com- piling statistics over a five year period and they show that 58l4 per cent of students entering - grade seven do not graduate from grade Lwelye.” : Another report Pouselte alluded to was one that showed . that only 15 per cen of high school students graduates go on to receive degrees in the universily system. Pousette’s over-riding concern is that the people that did drop out of tha education system were supplying the industries

- with workers, but with workers

thal were nol as highly trained or'skilled as they could be.

“In (he North we do have © basic industries,"’ Pousetle |

stated, -“‘such- as forestry, mining, fishing and: con- struction. 2

“We hope (o see more em- phasis on career - orientation in the. schoals.””,
