Class Size and Complexity Data:
Over 80,000 students joined Alberta’s classrooms in three years alone, mainly due to out-
of-control federal immigration polices, placing immense strain on teachers and school
space.
• The government acted by having school boards send us data on class sizes and
complexity so we could better understand the issue and how to roll out supports
where they are needed most.
• To ensure that students get the support they need, the government is investing $143
million to help our youngest students in kindergarten to grade 6, in schools with the
highest complexity.
o Of that funding, $129 million will go to schools that are prioritized highest in
the province for complexity factors.
o $14 million will go to schools with unique complexity challenges that require
different or additional strategies to support students.
• With this investment, the government will create up to 476 complexity teams, each
with one teacher and two educational assistants, who will be deployed to high
complexity classrooms to give teachers and students more support.
• While this funding delivers immediate support, it is only the beginning.
o The Class Size and Complexity Cabinet Committee will continue to analyze
data, work with education partners, and bring forward recommendations for
longer-term actions to strengthen classroom supports across Alberta.
• There will be complexity teams in 6 Calgary-Fish Creek schools.
o Don Bosco
o St. Phillip
o Prince of Wales
o Deer Run
o Midnapore School
o Sundance School
Data Collection:
• In November 2025, our government developed a system to collect consistent data
from all school jurisdictions. We received data from 89,000 classrooms across
1,549 schools.
o Data was self-reported by teachers, administrators and school board
officials.
o This data has been used to identify the most complex classes and schools across the province.
o The feedback on the data collected has provided us with valuable insights into how to improve the future collection of data.
• To protect the privacy of our most vulnerable population, data has been rolled out in alignment with current privacy legislation.
o In areas with small data samples where there is a risk of identifying individuals, information has been withheld.
Key Facts
• Data released on Open Alberta is from 89,000 public, separate and francophone
classes across the province, including information on class size, class composition and
