The NDP continues to roll out its platform—while the wait continues for Premier Scott Moe to call the election, which must be held on or before October 28th.
NDP Leader Carla Beck is promising to invest $2 billion in education over four years to reduce class sizes, hire more teachers and provide additional support to students with complex learning needs.
“These are real dollars that will increase per-student funding every year,” said Beck. “For the first time in nearly a decade, schools will get to choose what to add to help students, not what to cut. This investment will give schools the predictability they need to solve the problems in our schools.”
Beck said her plan would include fast-tracking construction of the new southeast Regina joint-use elementary school to begin in 2025 and the Saskatoon-Eastside high school to begin in 2026.
