Education Funding

BC parents and teachers believe that public education funding should effectively address the needs of all students. The fact sheets and the brochure below show how improvements and protections are necessary to best serve British Columbia’s students and teachers. Since public education funding is being reviewed and teacher bargaining is under way, please share this information with your MLAs and ask them to talk about these facts in caucus. MLA contact information can be found here.
