This morning we announced 14 new schools for Edmonton metro. These new schools will go a long way in making lives better for families by reducing class sizes and commute times.

When students have access to the classrooms they need, they thrive!

🏗️ 36 school projects are already underway in Edmonton & area

We’re working hard to turn permits into progress and get students into well-built schools ASAP!
Thank you to Ms. Anderson, Ms. Palazzo, Mr. McMann, & Dr. Georgiou for joining me for the 2025 Budget Speech. These incredible stakeholders and others like them are essential to continuing the world-class education system Alberta is known for.

Happy Catholic Education Week and World Catholic Education Day! Alberta’s Catholic schools play a valuable role in the province's school system by providing students and parents with the opportunity to pursue high-quality, faith-informed education.
I was pleased to attend the Alberta Catholic School Trustees Association MLA reception. Supporting Catholic education is one of our many commitments to delivering a world-class education system that will set Alberta students up for success.

The Alberta Advantage is back and booming. With this historic growth our schools are facing increased pressure. Alberta's government is taking immediate steps by providing an in-year funding boost of $30M to help our school divisions keep up.
A new high school will be opening its doors to 1,300 students in north Edmonton in September 2026! Alberta's conservatives are committed to building schools in our growing communities. #ableg#abed
