The Provincial NDP Education Critic says the Premier saying Saskatchewan leads the nation in education funding is misleading.

Matt Love says Scott Moe is using per capita population, not per student funding, which work out to be quite different.

Love says last year, the province saw 3,800 new students and 145 fewer teachers.

Love adds that there is not a jurisdiction anywhere in Canada where per capita population is used to measure education funding, and Moe’s choice of words is desperate, dishonest, and meant to confuse Saskatchewan citizens.
