Over half of Alberta adults support ending provincial funding for private schools, according to a new survey. The poll, conducted by Think HQ, found that 59% of respondents would vote to stop this practice, with 69% of those who had already decided. The provincial government budgets nearly $9.9 billion for K-12 education, with $295 million allocated to over 230 private schools. The survey results, which mirror a citizen-initiated petition by high school chemistry teacher Alicia Taylor, have motivated her to gather more signatures for a potential referendum.
