The British Columbia Teachers' Federation (BCTF) is pleased to have the opportunity to present its views on priorities for the 2018 provincial budget to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services. The BCTF represents 43,000 members who are teachers and associated professionals in public schools across British Columbia. The BCTF very much anticipates and appreciates a new climate in the relationship between teachers and the provincial government. For the first time in many years, the brief to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is focused on recommendations that will improve public education, rather than pleas to not allow the level of services to deteriorate. The nine sections are: (1) Provide Support for Implementing a New Curriculum; (2) Provide Funding for Teaching Resources; (3) Provide the Resources Needed to Support Successful Inclusion; (4) Review and Revise the Education Finance System (5) Accelerate Capital Funding for Building and Seismic Upgrading of Schools; (6) Support the Recruitment, Retention, and Mentorship of Teachers; (7) Expand Adult Education; (8) Eliminate Public Funding for Private Schools; and (9) Track Changes in the Relationship between Funding and Staff and Educational Services.
