What public education needs from BC Budget 2016

FACE presents to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services

Last year, in its Report on the Budget 2015 Consultations, the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services declared that, although public education was clearly a high priority for British Columbian citizens, it was not being funded by the government at a level adequate to meet the needs of students. The Committee made recommendations for stable and adequate funding to enable school boards to meet their mandate to provide quality public education.

This did not happen in the BC Government’s Budget 2015.
