ATA decries Alberta Budget 2024 education funding
Alberta Teachers Association president Jason Schilling criticizes Budget 2024 for insufficient per-student funding and outdated enrolment projections. He cites a 4.4 percent operating increase and 1.9 billion in capital spending as inadequate to reach Canadian averages, with fears of rising student numbers and teacher shortages. The ATA plans a multi-channel campaign to inform the public despite higher private school funding.
