We need schools but we also need solutions NOW to address the current issues like increased class sizes, lack of resources, support for special needs students, and teacher burn out.
Also, we do not need to be directing more public dollars to private school.
We're fast-tracking the building of schools.
This will make sure our $8.6 billion commitment builds up to 30 new schools and modernizes or replaces up to 8 schools every year for the next three years to create 200,000 student spaces over the next seven years.

I love creating engaging discussion photos for my students using the green screen. It helps them share their understanding of the unique Canadian communities we study. @SilverSpryycbe – at Airdrie, Alberta
Yesterday we had our first Wonder Day! Students chose an activity hosted by the teachers. I hosted a cross-grade Nature Exploration session. Our group enjoyed playing navigation and camouflage games. @SilverSpryycbe
