The provincial government has announced it is investing $600 million over the next three years to install more modular classrooms.
In a release, the government notes student enrolment is growing, with more than 80,000 new students over the last three years. They also point to “unsustainable federal immigration policies and record-level interprovincial migration” as reasons for why schools are under pressure.
For the 2026-27 school year, 189 new modular classrooms will be installed, with 12 washroom units, 10 replacements, and 29 relocations. In all, it’s estimated to add 5,450 student spaces.
“Student enrolment is growing, and we’re making sure schools can keep up,” says Demetrios Nicolaides, education and childcare minister.
