Alberta teachers protest rising class sizes, prompting a $10B education investment and school construction plan.
Alberta teachers are raising concerns over rapidly increasing class sizes due to a nearly 50% rise in student enrollment over the past decade, particularly in Edmonton, where K-3 classes average 22.5 students—well above the recommended 17—and some high school classes exceed 56 students.
Unlike provinces such as Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, Alberta lacks binding class-size limits, fueling union demands for smaller classes to improve learning and reduce teacher workload.
In response, the province is investing nearly $10 billion in its 2025-26 education budget, including an $8.6-billion School Construction Accelerator Program to create 50,000 new spaces within three years and 150,000 by 2031, aiming to address infrastructure gaps amid ongoing enrollment growth.
