K-12 funding platforms

Here's what the 2025 Ontario election parties are promising.
We don't have any PC policies on K-12 funding.

ONDP

  • Reverse cuts to education

    "We will reverse Ford’s education cuts and invest in a new, needs-based funding formula. The Ford government has cut education funding by $1,500 per student since 2018, leaving schools with fewer teachers and larger class sizes." — On Your Side: The Ontario NDP Plan for Southwest Ontario & Niagara, retrieved 2025-02-20

  • Review the funding model for schools to focus on student needs, not numbers of students

    "We will review the funding model to focus on student needs and not numbers of students to support vulnerable students." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

  • Fix funding for student transportation

    "And we’ll make sure students can get to class reliably and on time by fixing Ford’s broken student transportation funding." — ontariondp.ca, retrieved 2025-02-20

    "We will fix student transportation funding. Students across Northern Ontario lost bus services when the Ford government increased the distance eligibility. Attendance rates among students in Thunder Bay who lost access to the bus service have dropped. We will make sure you can count on a school bus to come on time for your child to get to and from school safely, by fixing the student transportation funding formula." — On Your Side: The Ontario NDP Plan for the North, retrieved 2025-02-20

We don't have any Liberal policies on K-12 funding.
