Its 'back to school' season

After being away for two whole months, kids go back to school in September, which they may not appreciate, but parents sure do.

Across Canada, September is the month when the new school calendar begins, when students start new grades, maybe even new schools – and it can be a costly one for parents and caregivers.

 

Families face expensive school bills

Kids grow like weeds, so just about every year they need bigger shoes, clothes and jackets, plus backpacks, books, paper and lots of other supplies to pursue their

important studies.

Whether in primary school, high school, college or university, the average Canadian family spent $1,540 on education in 2015. 1 And in countries around the world, families also face expensive bills in September as they send their kids off for a new year of school – many with the help of friends and family members working overseas who send money back home to help pay for supplies and tuition fees.
