Dear John,

Higher levels of per-student spending does not achieve higher student scores on standardized tests, either internationally or among the provinces.

A new study published by the Fraser Institute compares provincial per-student spending on K-12 education in 2018 to other high-income countries in the OECD and to the performance on the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

Saskatchewan was the highest per-student spender among the provinces but had the 8th worst PISA scores.

British Columbia was the lowest spender per student in Canada and achieved the fourth-highest PISA scores.

Spending more on K-12 schools without finding better ways to help kids learn will not improve student outcomes.

See the full results here [[link removed]], and please help us spread the word!

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President

The Fraser Institute
