"The Core Competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that we need in order to engage in deep, lifelong learning. Along with literacy and numeracy foundations, they are central to British Columbia’s K-12 curriculum and directly support students in their growth as educated citizens" (BC Ministry of Education, 2016).
