Could we do better with more funds? Absolutely yes.

While Canada ranked second for education among 143 countries, we owe this to the dedication of our educators. The provincial funding of schools has not always provided enough monies to educate ALL children. (For the past quarter century, “school taxes” have gone to the provincial “general revenues”).

We lobby the Provincial Government, asking: How many more exceptional talents shall remain unlocked, depriving our economy from precious assets? Good governance by School Boards should insure that monies received goes to benefit the children.
