Such fundraising “is deeply entrenched,” and the disparities between schools appears to be widening, says the report. The lowest 10 per cent of fundraising schools at the elementary level raised only $1 for every $49 raised by the top 10 per cent. The top 5 per cent of fundraising high schools raise as much as the bottom 83 per cent put together. This year 66 per cent of elementary schools and 80 per cent of high schools provided some form of Indigenous education. That’s up from 49 per cent of grade schools in 2013 and 61 per cent of secondary schools.
