The number of international students in British Columbia (BC) public schools has grown four-fold since the 2001-2002 school year. Two factors have promoted this growth: tuition from international students was one area that school districts could increase financial resources during a period of government austerity policies; and the province promoted the enrollment of international students as an economic strategy. One outcome of the policy has been an increase in inequality between school districts. The policy has been a success in an economic sense. International education is the third highest "export" from BC, behind only forestry products and minerals. Education--K-12 and post-secondary--is considered an "export" because it brings in income from across borders for tuition and living expenses. However, given the way it is structured, the increases in tuition revenue also increase the inequalities. Between 2001-02 and 2016-17, annual K-12 tuition revenue has grown from $55.5 million to $242 million, and the number of full-time equivalent students has grown from 4,083 to 15,580 in the public schools. This report examines the impact and inequality international students have on the BC public schools.
