Making Record Investments in Education

August 28, 2025

As students across Ontario head back to class, our government is investing a record $30.3 billion in education for the 2025–26 school year. This historic funding will strengthen classrooms, support special education, expand student transportation, and modernize school facilities.

Highlights include $16.5 billion for teachers and classroom staff, $3.9 billion for special education, and $2 billion for school renewal projects. In addition, $1.3 billion is being invested in 45 new schools and expansions, creating over 25,000 student spaces and 1,600 licensed child care spots.

Through the Responsive Education Programs (REP), another $420 million is being directed toward literacy, math, mental health, Indigenous education, and summer learning.

With these record supports and stronger accountability measures, we are ensuring that every dollar directly benefits students and families.
