2020 A Plan for Differential Funding in New Brunswick

30,000 New Brunswick children live in poverty, which is a well-documented cause of diminished educational achievement and academic attainment. The resulting effects are lifelong and come with a staggering economic and social cost. Beyond the moral imperative to help these children have a better life, the financial imperative is pressing. Government and societal costs related to poverty amount to billions of dollars EVERY YEAR.
