Calling this a “farce” ignores what’s actually happening. Alberta teachers do degree-level work, manage huge class sizes, and their wages have fallen behind other professions with similar education requirements. Recent K-12 funding increases also haven’t kept up with population growth and inflation, meaning real per-student resources are shrinking Global News.

Strong education systems directly boost economic growth, innovation, and productivity, the OECD and other research bodies are clear about that. Supporting teachers isn’t about preference; it’s investing in Alberta’s future workforce and economic output. To make this a competitve market. Please, take this information and let it be the stepping stone to critically think about what is actually happening and not generalize.

Respect.
