Dear John,

Spending per student (kindergarten to grade 12) in Canada ranged from a low of $13,494 in Alberta to a high of $19,484 in Quebec in 2022/23.

A new study published by the Fraser Institute finds that inflation-adjusted per student spending on public schools increased nationally by 5.9% between 2013/14 and 2022/23.

Compensation (salaries, wages, fringe benefits, and pensions) contributed the most to the total growth in spending on public schools.

Quebec saw the largest increase in spending over this time period, followed by Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.

When it comes to our children’s education, it’s important to understand exactly what’s happening with spending in public schools, and, most importantly, to question how the money spent is being put to use.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis
