This fact sheet reports on education funding in British Columbia (BC). Funding for public education significantly increased in 2017-18 and is projected to continue to increase in line with increasing student enrollment. However, government spending on K-12 education as a proportion of total public spending continues to decline. An increase in overall funding has allowed school districts to purchase much-needed supplies. However, the increase has not reversed previous declines. Inadequate funding forced districts to cut costs and look for other sources of revenue, exasperating inequities among districts.
