Abstract | Protecting and improving education should be a top priority for the BC government. Unfortunately, much of this last decade has seen conditions in BC schools worsen, rather than improve. Recent government decisions have just added to existing shortfalls in funding for schools. Unless the BC government reverses direction, projections are for conditions to deteriorate further. BCTF staff urge significant changes in the funding of education in BC and offer four recommendations for these changes. They include: (1) Increase funding to reflect real increases in costs; (2) Maintain stability--keep promises made to school districts about funding; (3) Fully fund new requirements and new initiatives; and (4) Eradicate child poverty. In addition, they repeat their previous call for the government to take action to eliminate child poverty. "Education program funding: A comparison of the September 2009 Budget Update to the February 2009 budget estimates" is attached. (ERIC). |
