Alberta education minister talks back to school

student enrolment in public schools in Canada grew by 2.7 per cent between 2012-13 and 2020-21. The biggest increase happened in Alberta, which saw a rise of 12.4 per cent.

“We need to see an impact of dollars right away, and already we’re falling behind because school is starting right now,” said Pancholi, adding that the new school year is an opportunity for Nicolaides to show he’s going to do things completely differently than his UCP predecessor on the file, Adriana LaGrange.funding model, which funds schools based on enrolment over three years rather than a one-year count.

Niether Edmonton Public nor Edmonton Catholic had an accurate number of how many staff they had been able to hire this year.
