I remember on the news they covered this a few weeks ago. I forget exacty goes to the private schools and the NDP were really bitching about it. My thought was if you slash all of the money how many people would have to pull their kids out of private schools because they couldn't afford the increased tuition? Then the tax payer would foot the full bill for the child's education.
The number of kids in the province is a steady number. The more that are in private education the more have a lot of their education costs being subsidized by their parents, relieving pressure on the tax payer to gave more money to spend on the rest.
