Alberta Budget Day April 14, 2016

4/16/2016

 
It was a beautiful day to travel to Edmonton to the Legislature for Budget Day! We were invited to attend the stakeholder lockup and the Budget speech.

As education advocates we are keenly interested in how government prioritizes education in this province. As advocates for a strong, quality and equitable public education system we are pleased with the progress this government has made to responsibly fund education.

By committing to fully fund enrolment growth, this government demonstrates the understanding that education is an investment that pays dividends.  This budget also shows a firm commitment to repairing damage caused by the previous government's year over year of education underfunding.

The commitment to forge ahead with capital projects, such as schools and modernization projects, starts to fill a long standing gap that has gone unaddressed for too long.   Forty eight of those projects are on track to being finalized by September, giving Alberta students safe, accessible learning environments.

We believe strongly that the quality and accessibility of a child's education should not be contingent on the price of oil. This government's budget and dedication to funding enrolment echoes this sentiment.

We look forward to continuing to work with a government who shares our commitment to public education.
