Abstract	Policy makers in Ontario and Alberta provide financial assistance to disadvantaged students. Three special allocations in 2006-2007 school year for disadvantaged students in grades one to eight in the two provinces are compared to answer the question: Who makes stronger vertical equity efforts? The three compared allocations are: the allocation for special education students, for English as Second Language students, and for students from low socio-economic status families. Since stronger measures are needed for equal educational opportunity, measuring how strong vertical equity efforts are is a highly relevant topic. The results indicate that Ontario provides more assistance through these allocations. The answer to the question is, "Ontario makes stronger vertical equity efforts." (Contains 1 table.)
