WRITTEN QUESTION 24-16(4): PUPIL-TEACHER RATIO FUNDING

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

How have pupil-teacher ratios been impacted at a territorial, regional and community level since the legislative changes were initiated in 2000?

What impact has the decline in enrolment had on funding/services/teacher numbers?

What evidence is there of a link between pupil-teacher ratio and student achievement in the Sahtu region and NWT?

What accountability mechanisms are in place to guide, monitor and report on the implementation of pupil-teacher ratio funding?

What accountability mechanisms are in place to guide, monitor and report on the implementation of inclusive schooling funding?

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The honourable Member for Kam Lake, Mr. Ramsay.
