BCTF to release brief arguing for more education funding

The BC Teachers Federation says this province lags behind many others in Canada when it comes to funding, and the teachers plan to reveal a brief Monday.

BCTF President Susan Lambert is set to make a case to bring BC’s level of education funding up to the national average.

According to a press release issued by the BCTF on Sunday, as a percentage of GDP, the student/educator ratio and a number of other indicators, BC ranks between eighth and 10th in the country.

Lambert will be calling for a plan, the specifics she will unveil at a press conference.
