Yes, but support for independent school should be balanced with investments in public education to ensure that every student, regardless of income, has access to a quality education.
@B2GRGV52wks2W
Independent school are okay but they should not be funded in any way by the government. They should be paid in full by those attending.
@B2FXBYQ2wks2W
Yes because people need to learn some how, if you have the money to go to a privite school then you should if you want.
@B2C6CJZ3wks3W
We should have both private and public schools. I also think the public sector should have a complete overhaul and teach actual life skills as well as better direct kids to a career path at a younger age
@B2BV4ZM3wks3W
yes, not at the expense of funding public schools and still having a focus on improving public schools and educational workers and teachers wages.
@B2BMN293wks3W
Private schools and public schools should have alignment in quality of education being imparted. If one wishes to enroll theirchildren in private school they can go ahead. But if one cannot afford -- they should be able to have an option to go to public school expecting the same standard of l
Outcome.

Personally No, but they should remain legal, but require all private schools to be strictly non-profit.
@B292M3P3wks3W
We should have a fully funded public education system. If someone wants to seek a private education it should be completely funded by the user and seek zero public funding, but must still follow the rules of the canadian education system
