Public Education should enable all students to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Students who graduate should be equipped with literacy, numeracy, critical thinking and "soft" people skills such as the ability to communicate, the ability to adapt and the ability to be a responsible member of society.

Education is a public good that we all benefit from. All of the professionals that we depend on - doctors, nurses, tradespeople, first responders, etc. wouldn't be able to do their jobs without a basic education. Employers wouldn't have good employees without a robust education system. As such, it should remain being public funded. At question is if the funding is sufficient and is it equitable?
