Article: Premier Smith aims to help fund private school construction in Alberta
Alberta’s recent decision to include independent schools in their $8.6 billion education funding plan marks a significant step toward recognizing the essential role these schools play in addressing growing enrolment demands. Premier Danielle Smith’s move to support private, non-profit schools alongside public institutions highlights the importance of school choice in a thriving education system. As Alberta paves the way for a more inclusive and diverse educational landscape, Ontario should take note and consider similar measures to ensure families have access to a variety of schooling options. At OFIS, we remain committed to advocating for true school choice and supporting independent schools as vital contributors to Ontario’s future.
