Where every party stands on education
4 of the 10 parties on the October 24 ballot have published something on schools, colleges and universities. Here they are side by side, each with its source.
BEFORE YOU COMPARE
Who actually decides this
The province funds public schools, sets the curriculum and the framework for teacher bargaining, and funds colleges and universities. School boards run local schools inside that funding.
Read the commitments below against that. Where a party proposes something the city cannot do on its own, the commitment carries a line naming who holds the power. That is not a criticism of the promise. A council can lobby, fund and argue, and saying so plainly is more useful than pretending the limit does not exist.
WHAT THE COMPARISON SHOWS
Reading this ballot on education
4 of the 10 parties have published something here, and between them they have made 6 separate commitments. OneBC has published the most, with 4.
1 commitment carries a figure you can hold a council to after the election: The party gives no cost or date.. The rest are directions without a number attached.
6 of the 6 commitments here depend at least partly on a government other than the city. That does not make them empty, but it does change what a council can promise about them.
