New B.C. curriculum includes residential schools, Asian immigrant experience

British Columbia's latest education experiment starts this fall with the launch of a new curriculum that will be phased in over the next three years.

The curriculum has Aboriginal perspectives integrated at all grade levels, and includes the history and legacy of the residential school system.

It also has new content on the historical experiences of South and East Asian immigrants, and a renewed emphasis on environmental sciences, according to a government release.
