Canada’s investment in education amounts to some 11% of total government expenditure, falling significantly below the UNESCO benchmark of 15-20%. Some provinces’ per-student funding of education has kept pace with inflation, but in AB, SK, NFLD & ON have not. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/f0eb524...

Underfunding and outdated policies mean students’ needs are being neglected and teachers are stretched thin. The only solution is more boots on the ground
