Budget Submissions
The IPE/BC submissions to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services recommend key public education funding priorities for inclusion in the provincial budget.
- Budget 2026 Submission: Sufficient funding for staffing and inclusive education, and restoring public school investment We are very pleased to see that the Select Standing Committee’s Budget 2026 Consultation Report, August 2025, referenced the IPE/BC recommendations. See pages 58-62.
- Budget 2025: Placing a Priority on Public Education (Note that, due to there not being a 2025 budget consultation, IPE/BC made a submission directly to government that year.)
- Budget 2024 Submission: Building Capacity for BC’s Future
- Budget 2023 Submission, Restoring the Percentage of the GDP Spent on K-12 Public Education
- Budget 2022 Submission, Placing a Priority on Funding Initiatives to Support the Most Vulnerable Students

IPE/BC has also submitted a brief focused on the need for a national, universal school food program to the pre-budget consultations held in advance of the 2024 federal budget.
