The government is under budget constraints?? Doesn’t add up.
“According to that 2021 data, BC allocates just 3 percent of its GPP to K-12 education, while Manitoba allocates 4.9 percent, Nova Scotia 4.4 percent, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island 4.2 percent, Quebec 4.1 percent, New Brunswick 4 percent, Ontario 3.8 percent and Alberta 3.3 percent. This smaller percentage means BC school boards have less funding available for student support and to provide up-to-date, adequate and safe school buildings.”
Our province is the LOWEST.
How are other provinces able to fund schools more than BC? PEI is at 4. 2% and BC is just 3%.
Explain that!
The kids who are going to feel the effects of the budget constraints the most are the most vulnerable kids.
I do not understand how the people in government, who are making these budget decisions, sleep at night.
Please sign the petition! A HUGE thank you to the organizers. Let’s spread this far and wide!
Parents are not going to sit back and tolerate this.
We are voters!!
Well, a message to the other government parties. You want to kick these people out? Make funding public schools your election commitment. Be nervous NDP! Want to keep your seats? FUND SCHOOLS!!
