Albertaās education funding? Not very mindful, not very demure. We're dead last in Canada despite being the wealthiest province. Our children deserve better. š«ā #StopTheExcuses #TheLeast #abed #ableg

š As Labour Day approaches, weāre reflecting on what it means for teachers. Itās more than just a holiday. With ongoing bargaining in Alberta, it's a reminder of the importance of fair working conditions. #CanadianTeachers #LabourDay2024 #abed #ableg

Alberta should not be balancing the budget on the backs of students. The government can afford it; students deserve better. There is no excuse for Alberta to be spending the least on public education, but we are. #ableg #abed
Well done, Alberta š By staying true to fiscal discipline, Alberta was able to not only balance our budget and pay down debt, but generate a $4.3B surplus. Weāve also seen our provincial credit rating increase, made record investments to health and education, and continued to grow our heritage savings fund to a record high $22.9B! Read more:
