There are over 3000 teachers for 50,000 students. That's about 1 teacher per 15 students.
Problem is that teachers are not distributed equally across the country. That is a human issue. Also, there's a serious problem with specialist teachers in secondary schools. That is a HR training issue. Another is the large number of small rural schools. That's a logistical problem.
You spend what you need to spend. If you spent 95K in 2021-22, why would you need to spend 800K in 2022-23? So, what about school lunches? Is it going to increase by 700% as well?????
He admitted that he has no reason for that huge increase.
We get that Mr AG ....... But what do you do with a person charged with a murder who is given bail and is charged with subsequent murders? How many chances can we continue to give to a known vicious criminal.
Bail has become a de facto death sentence for murderers in this country. Street justce. Karma 242 style

For the country's sake, we need politicians who will have integrity in office. It's sadly lacking since Ingraham 1992-2002.

Compare American to Chinese & Japanese schools. Then answer that Q for yourself.
