Should the federal government put a cap on university tuition rates?

Education is a path towards Peace.

No, do not cap, however, reward completion of programs and tuition forgiveness for students who within 4 years of a drop out have become productive members of society.

Education is a provincial responsibility. I believe that the provinces should cap tuition or make university free.

tuition should be capped to those who can't afford but still want/need education so taxes won't get too high but still affordable

No but they should reflect the department you're in and the funding that goes back into your own education

in canada, at least in NS, tuition is tied to multiple factors, but a lot of funding comes from the gov, in various ways. over the last couple of decades, the provincial government have been lowering the funding for universities, leading to some tuition increases. So how can the universities continue to function? Higher education is expensive, and research money, nor can donations be used to offset tuition, i believe. I say this as an employee of 2 separate universities spanning almost my entire adult working history, about 25 years.

Decrease inflation and overspending so our dollar is stronger. Make tuition relative to the schooling provided and the nature of the degree.

tuition rates shouldn't receive cap but the price should reflect the quality and information of the university program

I believe that the government should for most courses cap the intuition rate. If the course is serious it might need more money, but access to knowledge shouldn't be so high.

Public universities should only charge admission administrative fees but private universities can charge whatever the market is willing to pay

No, however one's inability to afford the schooling tuition should not jeopardize their ability to get accepted into the school.

no, but they should have free universitys with lower degrees so people can still do what they want with their life but just at a lower level/pay

Yes, but don't make it so everyone can afford it, only make it so that people who could afford the origional rates can keep some of the money.

University should be free. Student who have excellent grades should be paid to go to school. Especially if it’s masters or PhD. Population will be more educated.

Yes, but this policy should be paired with increased public funding for universities to avoid compromising the quality of education.

It should be a free market with reasonable government intervention

Regardless, all education should be free for any Canadian citizen

Tuition should be free. Higher education is not a luxury. It should be a fundamental right. It is not far that poor people cannot afford to go to university and make less money because higher paying jobs require more training and education.

Aspects of university education should be free to eliminate financial barrier and subsequent financial burden. Alleviated costs will increase accessibility, improve academic performance, produce stronger graduate outcomes and improve our society/economy. Associated costs with university education should fall on the student, for example textbooks, but these should be made available at a more cost-effective rate. We should be removing all funding for immigration initiatives/foreign aid and investing in our students.

Yes, but the government should also increase funding for universities specifically in the areas of undergraduate education and research funding.

Cap the proportion of budget that can be used for administration costs and the amount of maximum pay. Have tuition costs proportionate to the overall budget. Subsidize schools that attract and promote viewpoint diversity and fund/promote open debate on all issues.

University should be free of charge.

It dosn't concern the federal government. Education is Provincial.

Tuition costs should be reduced as they are way higher than they should be at this time. following that reduction they should be tied to inflation.

No, tuition should be dependant on what the university wants to pay compared to other universities and their respective ranks in education.

No, and all subsidies provided should be granted directly to the person to promote educational institutions competition.

No, Universities need to course correct on their business models as the overly inflated cost of faculty and staffing resources soars higher each year and government grant fund is decreasing. Capping tuition would just bankrupt Universities.

They should be lowered and capped for persons 18-35 born in Canada, and for people who have been educated and employed in the country for 6 years combined. International students should have no cap.

Canadians should have access to free Canadian education while foreign students and immigrants should have raised tuition costs.

Canadians should receive free or low-tuition education while immigrants or foreign students should have higher tuition rates.

he best universities with the highest scrutiny to be accredited should be allowed to charge the top tuition rates.

Tuition rates should be caped on careers that provide an average annual income of 80, 000 dollars and below.

No, student loans should be completely eliminated. No more student loans for anyone. We’ll see what happens to tuition then…

Yes and prevent the addition of fees per course for immigrants! We can barely afford to pay for our own course without having to contribute to someone education not in our family.

It should be capped for domestic students to allow for more opportunities for citizens and permanent residents.

the best universities with the highest scrutiny to be accredited should be allowed to charge the top tuition rates.

Government should provide free university education on a fair competition basis - everyone can apply but only the best of the best gets in

Yes, for first year students, and have a mix of private and public education. Give people more choice

If it is to be done, it should be done by the provincial government in accordance with our federalist system

I think that the government should provide funding for education like many places in Europe, but only part of it. They should also make sure universities aren't overcharging anyone

If you go to post Secondary, that is a personal choice. If you choose to go to an expensive school, that's the individuals choice.

There should be free post-secondary education offered by the government for each province, as well as private institutions whose rate should be determined by the free market.

No, the government should attempt to find a way to decrease tuition rates (at least proportionally to inflation) by figuring why it increased (aside from inflation)

only for domestic students international students should pay more and should have second priority to domestic students

University is becoming too expensive. Students should have more opportunities for scholarships and grants. Universities should have regulations on how much they can charge on tuition but at the end of the day universities are private and charge as much as we wish. We need more low cost affordable public universities.

nobody is gonna spend 500$ just to research sociology 💀, considering this case, this country isn't gonna to care because of it's dumb "by the book" plans of this failing minister, how redundant.

Yes, but only to Canadian born citizens. And limit number of foreign students so universities do not just take foreign students for the money

Cap it at a reasonable rate to ensure the College still makes money to pay their instructors/professors to ensure fair pay and fair pay to students.

Yes, the government should pay the full term of Bachelor Degree programs and 50% for Master's programs. But all recipients must work 5 consecutive years within Canada or for a Canadian owned company; if they choose not to, then the full cost of University will have to be repaid within 5-8 years.

Higher education needs to be made more affordable to all not just those with the money to pay the outlandish expenses

Yes and the government should provide free university education. The idea that people need to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt is an incredibly insane prospect.

the chance for an individual to pursue a higher level of education should be made available to everyone, regardless of their finances.

No, and the government should not be funding university tuition

Adequate funding of the university system is required. Rather than subsidizing at an artifically low rate that does not provide a good product.

Tuition should be regulated in public institutions but not in private and match inflation or the costs of the program. Cost recovery.

Yes, Tuition costs should not exceed $6500/year.

cap teachers salaries

Yes, but only cap tuition to each student's first year rate, in addition to being allowed to increase periodically for inflation

No but tuition rates should be stated before trying to join

No, but tuition rates should be tied to the program intended

only if they need the money

The government should eliminate the interest rates

post secondary education should be free for all, provided students grades are within the norm. Should the student fail their course, they should then be responsible for the next term/year tuition. Education is a right, but it also is not a free ride. After graduating the student should then repay 1/3 of their education costs over 5 year period and remain in Canada for 5 years to expand Canada's economy. Indiginous people should be exempt from repaying.

Yes, and the government should provide free university education only if the student successfully completes their degree

Yes, to the rate of inflation only.

It would depend on size of university. Cap on limits of international students.

it should be adjustable depending on income, the poor shouldn't have to rely on loans and scholarships.

Yes, and stop making us pay for refugees education and universities especially the ones that don’t work

No, But there should be good implementation and facilitation of student loans and public universities as attractive alternatives should be made available.

No, however the federal and provincial governments should also stop subsidizing universities, this is a perverse incentive for universities to inflate their costs thus justifying the higher rates.

Yes, university should be affordable for Canadian citizens

tuition rates are supply and demand, If we geared people towards 2 year collage degrees than we wouldnt have this problem

Yes and the student should pay 20-25% less then it is now

post second education should be free. The fact these universities can raise the rates as much as they want prove they have failed in their primary goal.

Students should just be able to go to college or university and have that out of the way when they pay. Also tuition is stupid. Because they have other things they need to buy like shelter

Education should be free. People need to learn. If people don't have enough money to pay for their schooling then they cant get a job. If they don't get a job it will be harder to keep the economy flowing.

Yes but keeping in mind universities will raise and introduce other fees when tuition caps are imposed

Yes, I suggest that we make University and Colleges acceptance rates lower as well, resulting to qualified people getting in while not increasing the costs for tuitions. I will also propose an increase on tuition costs for International Students.

European system seems good. Free but you work for the government later to pay it off.

The institutions should have the right to set the rates

The institution should have the right to do what they feel is best

Yes, but only at publicly funded institutions and should provide better access to post-secondary education as a whole.

Yes, depending on the university program.

I don;y have a stance

Tuition rates are now coasting more than ever even with respect to cost of living. The problem is that we force everyone into university which lets the universities charge more

Private school were originally a way to segregate races, and are now a way to divide the rich from the poor, it is a outdated idea. So no I don’t support private schools!

Ithink you should only have to pay your rent for each year.

Wtf does that mean

Yes and provide mor grants and subsidies

The government should control how universities use their money before putting a cap on tuition rates.

the cost of univiersity is just supply and demand, if we offered more competitive alternatives to univercity than we wouldn't have such high costs

Tuition rates should be charged based on what the degree is, or the market

Should be provincial jurisdiction.

if that mean making university cheaper then yess a lot of people don't attend university because they cant afford it

education should be accessible to all.

With this growing economy we need to invest in personal finance, and alternative forms of education pathways, the university model is growing more and more outdated with academia being less and less were most tech research is being produced

Let provinces decide
