Policy solutions to make education more affordable in BC. Invest in students today, we’re the leaders of tomorrow.

We struggle enough with the high cost of tuition fees, skyrocketing rent and grocery bills. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Students in BC can no longer be expected to pay the price for years of inconsistent funding.

Making education more affordable for students requires the government to step up, make the necessary policy changes, and provide adequate funding.

Freeze then gradually reduce the cost of tuition fees for all students.

For more than two decades, the proportion of government funding to BC’s public post-secondary institutions has declined, while tuition fees have increased to make up for these funding gaps.

Our post-secondary system is in the midst of a funding crisis, with the cost of getting an education being unfairly downloaded onto students and their families, and institutions cutting services on campus that we rely on.

The solution is twofold, but simple; up-front cost barriers to education need to be removed and the cost of obtaining an education needs to be progressively reduced to address the student debt crisis.
