Our Commitment to Education

Since being elected to govern Nova Scotia in 2013, our Liberal government has expanded spending on Education by about 30%.

This new funding has allowed us to put new resources into the classroom. We have added over 900 new teachers and added new non-teaching positions to improve education for the kids by lowering the size of classes.

Our Liberal Government has done all of these things while balancing the provincial budget!
