💰 📉Alberta spends the least on Public Education per student in all of Canada.
It's time to right the wrongs. It's time for solutions, #StopTheExcuses

Just a reminder before the Premier's televised announcement that the Alberta gov't chooses to fund our public education system the least. That they choose not to provide the resources for our students. They love to talk about choice, and this is one they should be ashamed about.
Yes, we need more schools--we've been saying it for years--but those will take years to build.
However, we need solutions now to address the current issues like increased class sizes, lack of resources and support for special needs students, and teacher burn out.
Smith’s pitch on education was solely based on construction…
Did anyone hear her say anything about funding the teachers and staff?

The privatization of Education in Alberta just got a huge shot in the arm from Smith...
While numbers are vague, it appears that the UCP will be directed $100's of millions to charter schools & private schools instead of that money going to public schools.

UPDATE: The projected surplus is now $5.5B. And all the government was able to find for unprecedented enrolment growth in schools was $30M. About one half of 1% of the surplus. This is the equivalent of the change found in the couch cushions. #abed#ableg#standforeducation
Work intensification and lack of balance are driving Alberta teachers out of their chosen profession, suggests a recent ATA study: https://t.co/3gvJzFZ0Xc #abed#ableg
