Ford government’s school funding vow doesn’t do enough to meet Ontario’s needs, opposition parties say

February 21, 2025
With a provincial election in Ontario less than a week away, the Ford government’s promise to spend more than $1-billion to build new schools is not nearly enough to meet the needs across the province, opposition parties say.Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative Party has not yet released any election platform details regarding its plans for education. But just before calling the election last month, Mr. Ford’s government promised $1.3-billion to build 30 new schools and expand 15 already existing schools across the province.
