Two-thirds of those surveyed think there is a shortage of education staff, including teachers, and another two-thirds think the provincial government should increase spending on spending on public education. In a report on per-student spending in Canada from the Fraser Institute, published in October, Saskatchewan was recently identified as a province with declining education spending, even when adjusted for inflation.
Several participants in the STF survey also indicated they don’t feel that Premier Scott Moe or Education Minister Dustin Duncan are “trustworthy sources of public education information.” Twenty per cent of respondents were “unsure” about the education minister. One-third answered with the neutral response, in-between “very trustworthy” and “not trustworthy at all” for both government officials.
