Sask. political leaders talk education, records during Easter weekend campaign stop
Saskatchewan’s top two political leaders are hot on the campaign trail this Easter weekend as the election enters the home stretch.
Cam Broten painted Easter eggs with a group of Saskatoon children and talked about funding for schools on Saturday.
He reiterated his party’s platform promises to hire 300 teachers and 300 educational assistants over four years, double funding for early childhood intervention programs, increase early childhood development programs and reduce class sizes to 20 students starting with Kindergarten through Grade 2.
“What we need to be doing is putting money into education. We need to be hiring, not firing, and that’s very much what our plan is about,” Broten said.
