Since Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party formed government, Saskatchewan has tripled investments in educational infrastructure across our province and doubled the total education budget:

• 40 new or replaced schools and 25 major renovations undertaken

• Nearly $966 million invested in capital funding since 2008
• 18 new joint-use schools are under construction in Saskatchewan’s fastest growing communities

• 31% increase in operational funding in the province

• 104% increase in pre-kindergarten programs, more than doubling programs from 155 to 316

• Education Property Tax on agricultural land reduced by 80%

• Increased teachers and support workers in education:
  • Over 600 more regular teachers
  • 200 more student support teachers
  • 45% increase in psychologists
  • 24% increase in speech language pathologists
  • 14% increase in social workers
  • 53% increase in occupational therapists
  • 8% increase in English as Additional Language Teachers

The NDP failed to invest in students, the future of our province, when they had the chance in government:

• Under the NDP, students declined by 16% between 1997 and 2006
• From 2000-2007, the number of teachers in Saskatchewan decreased by 400
• The NDP cut the operational funding to school divisions in 1993-1994, and increased it by 0% in 1995
