Canada faces limits on education spending says council
The Economic Council of Canada in its Eighth Annual Review argues that expenditures on education at 1960s rates are no longer feasible or appropriate. It notes actual spending growth since 1967 exceeded projections and that school performance ties more to family factors than to teacher quantity or equipment. It cautions society may reduce formal schooling without harming outcomes and stresses that post secondary aid benefits wealthier families more, urging a balanced mix of work and study as the decade advances.
