PS: I believe Post Secondary Education should be free for all Canadians.
International education tuition should reasonable and capped.
If, in this moment of upheaval, and soul searching by Government, a window opens where we could shrink the system enough to pay for the whole thing publicly […]

@chris Don't get me started on fixing grades in high school so that meaningful admissions criteria can be set. The inability to do math at elementary level is shocking to me.

This is terms of reference document for the post secondary review in BC and there are two sentences redacted and now I am very very curious.

@sundogplanets thanks for reading it Dr. Lawler! :) I think it is accurate and fair and hopefully desperate enough to get people interested and talking about the problem.

10/10 I'll end the thread there. You have the info now, you see the point.
The source of the crisis in post-secondary isn’t because of international visas, global inflation, or declining enrollment.
It is the predictable result of at least two decades of Canadian Federal and Provincial […]

9/n I believe this chart to be the most damning of all.
It lays bare Canada and its province's reliance on exorbitant and exploitative international student tuitions to make up the gaps in government funding of our institutions.
The spread has gone from about […]

8/n Government, on the other hand, chooses to spend less per student.
Every “Full Time Equivalent" domestic student is receiving about $2000 less support now from the government than at the peak in 2009.
Meanwhile, domestic tuition has nearly doubled from about […]

7/n It's because you're paying all those rich professors in their ivory towers more and more!

6/n Now lets get down to brass tacks. Who pays for Universities?
It's the Students... especially during this time of "Global Inflation”.
