Rising enrolment drives compensation growth and capital investments in elementary and secondary schools in 2023/2024
In 2023/2024, expenditures on salaries, wages, and benefits for instructional and educational services staff in Canadian public schools rose 8.7% to $54.9 billion, the largest single year increase since 1976/1977. These costs accounted for just under three-quarters (72.9%) of total school board operating expenses, driven primarily by record enrolment growth and the implementation of new collective agreements.
