Parents are upset by the suggestion to cut teachers and increase class sizes in an effort to reduce the cost of the provincial government. So says the M-L-A for Hampton, Gary Crossman.
The Strategic Programme Review report says by increasing maximum class sizes by four students, the province would save from between $50 million and $70 million dollars but Crossman warns increasing class sizes will hurt students and impair academic achievement.
The M-L-A for Fredericton West Hanwell, Brian MacDonald says the province can’t even come up with a policy on snow days never mind a ten year plan to transform the education system.
