Students Unite for Public Education: The Vision
Post-secondary education has the potential to empower people in so many ways, such as increasing technical and critical skills, confidence, and employment opportunities. It's no wonder, then, that the United Nations recognizes education as a human right. The Dalhousie Student Union strives to eliminate barriers to education wherever they exist so that everybody who is capable and interested in pursuing advanced education may do so.
Recommendations to the Provincial Government
- Restore per-student funding to 1990 levels, and keep it at this level in order to freeze tuition fees. Cost: $30 million [5]
- Develop a strategy to implement progressive reductions in tuition fees.
