Résumé
L’article décrit des changements survenus dans le système d’enseignement supérieur de la Colombie-Britannique (Canada) durant les quarante dernières années. Il y a eu, d’abord, une diversification et une expansion du système tant sur le plan des inscriptions que des institutions d’enseignement supérieur. On a constaté aussi que les institutions non universitaires ont eu tendance à dériver vers un modèle universitaire. On signale l’émergence de formations en relation avec l’emploi comme en témoigne la création d’universités financées presque exclusivement par le secteur privé et orientées vers la satisfaction des besoins du marché. Enfin, le gouvernement de la Colombie-Britannique s’oriente actuellement vers l’utilisation d’indicateurs de performance dans le système d’enseignement supérieur et un financement fondé sur le rendement institutionnel.
Abstract
This article describes changes made to the higher education system in British Columbia (Canada) over the last forty years. Firstly, there was a diversification and an expansion of the system in terms of enrolment and number of higher education institutions. As well, non-university institutions tended to develop towards a university model. The development of training institutions in relation to employment was observed in the creation of universities financed almost exclusively by the private sector and aimed at satisfying the needs of the market. Finally, the government of British Columbia is currently developing performance indicators for use in the higher education system and financing based on institutional achievement.
Resumen

Hubo allí, en principio, una diversificación y una expansión del sistema educativo tanto en el plano de las inscripciones como en el de las instituciones de enseñanza superior. Se ha podido constatar también que las instituciones no universitarias han tendido a derivar hacia un modelo universitario. Se pone en evidencia también la emergencia de formaciones relacionadas con el empleo, como lo atestigua la creación de universidades financiadas casi exclusivamente por el sector privado y dirigidas hacia la satisfacción de las necesidades del mercado. Finalmente, se señala que el gobierno de la Colombia Británica se orienta actualmente hacia el empleo de indicadores de desempeño en el sistema de enseñanza superior y a un financiamiento fundado sobre el rendimiento institucional.
Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag befasst sich mit den Veränderungen im Hochschulsystem der kanadischen Provinz Britisch-Kolumbien während der letzten 40 Jahre. Zunächst gab es eine Phase der Diversifikation sowie der Expansion, sowohl im Bereich der Immatrikulationszahlen als auch im Bereich der institutionellen Auffächerung. Dabei fällt auf, dass auch die nicht-universitären Institutionen die Tendenz hatten, sich an das Universitätsmodell anzupassen. Es wurden Berufsausbildungsprogramme geschaffen, und dies in Universitäten, die finanziell fast ausschliesslich von der Privatwirtschaft finanziert wurden und die sich an den Erfordernissen des Arbeitsmarkts orientieren. Gegenwärtig orientiert sich die Regierung von Britisch-Kolumbien an den Leistungsindikatoren des Hochschulbereichs. Auch die Finanzierung der Hochschulen ist von institutionellen Leistungskriterien abhängig.
