In education, per-pupil
funding for students in the K-12 levels will rise from $8,200 in 2009-10 to an
estimated $8,301 for 2010-11, the highest ever. Further supporting families and
early-childhood education, the introduction of full-day kindergarten for
five-year-olds is being phased in starting this September, and as it becomes
fully operational, annual funding will rise to $129 million by 2012. In the
post-secondary sector, funding remains stable at $1.88 billion in 2010-11.
