Education funding and its effect on schools

Will 2010 bring a new funding formula for Ontario students?

Hugh Mackenzie

The Ministry of Education has promised a review of the funding formula in 2010. What could and should a new funding formula look like? Does the current funding formula affect urban and rural/northern areas differently? How is education funding related to declining enrolment and school closings? Is there a difference between education funding and
education policy?
