Alberta has announced millions in funding to help alleviate pressure on the education system as the province deals with a population boom.

Premier Danielle Smith yesterday announced $215 million for modular classrooms and to cover operational costs.

The funds will be available starting in the 2024-25 school year.

Every school authority in Alberta will get a share of $125 million for operational funding.

The amount available for each school authority will be based on the number of students it serves.

The province says $90 million is being invested for the construction and installation of up to 100 new modular classrooms and the relocation of up to 50 modular units.
