Article 6.7.1 School Choice
Party Platform
4) Education
Platform
Education
A BC Conservative government will introduce: a funding formula which will provide equal “per student” financing for students attending the same grade as in public schools for traditional, charter schools, and independent schools from K-12 levels. The system will operate throughout British Columbia on the basis of choice by parents in each school district. It will provide a specific grant for each student in a school that meets the minimum academic requirement established by the Provincial Ministry of Education.

We endorse all 19 Conservative MLA candidates.
A Christian Heritage Party of BC Government will establish a funding formula which will provide equal “per student” funding for students attending the same grade in the school of their choice, whether Public, Traditional, Charter, Private or Faith Based, provided that school meets the minimum academic requirements established by the Provincial Ministry of Education.




We endorse all 5 Christian Heritage MLA candidates.
BC Libertarians believe that to ensure access to a quality education for every child, parents should have more choice in determining the way it is delivered. It’s already well-recognized that a one-size-fits-all approach results in far too many students being left behind.

Educational choice is how the playing field can be leveled between the underprivileged and those lucky enough to live in close proximity to the best schools.



We endorse all 25 Libertarian MLA candidates and 2 Independents.

We endorse candidates who publicly support the idea of legislation to allow the voluntary formation of 20 charter schools in British Columbia (to catch up with Alberta) through their personal statements or their party’s platform.
