Hi @tiben12. Thanks for your thoughtful questions. Happy to answer them. A thread to answer your thread:
Question 1: First, targeted funding for students with special needs has gone up 30% under our government, Indigenous education funding has gone up 29%.

Since forming government, student enrollment has increased by 3.4% alongside a budget increase in education of 19.4% . . . these increases directly impact students in rural and remote schools. Personally, I don’t consider these improvements “a few tweaks.”
