On March 4th, the BC government will be tabling its provincial budget. Generally, there is an annual legislative budget consultation that takes place well in advance; however, this year, due to the scheduling of the election, it did not take place. Therefore IPE/BC has taken the initiative of outlining its key education funding priorities in a submission to government. We consider a quality, inclusive, well-supported public education system to be fundamental to a strong democracy and thriving society. While we know there are many pressing needs in our public schools, we have chosen to focus on those that we view as the most urgent priorities. Please share this document with others and join us in calling for public education funding to be a government priority.
