It is very apparent that you don't understand the grants to independent schools and how they work. I do. Children are getting an excellent education at a fraction of the cost to government. No, the NDP if elected, will not get rid of these grants regardless of what the BCTF wants. The costs to government would be too high and cause a bigger hole in the budget than many imagine. The NDP proposals will already bankrupt BC if elected, reducing the grants will only dig a deeper hole. It pays to be informed.
