BC’s Post Secondary funding structure is failing, which means its failing students. Institutional funding across BC is down to around 50% and international students’ tuition has risen 64% since 2006 in order to pick up the slack. International Students are paying 3-5X more in fees than domestic students and have no protection or accountability from our institutions. We got together with other student associations in BC this summer and told the government to fix it.
As many Canadians continue to struggle financially through the pandemic, students are renewing their call for the federal government to eliminate interest on student loans to ease the burden of student loan debt.
