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

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.

It should be a free market with reasonable government intervention

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.

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

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

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

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.

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)

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

Should be provincial jurisdiction.

There should be some sort of subsidy for university students based on there ability to pay full tuition

stop making funds so easily available for student loan, so post-secondaries can't inflate costs as easily

This question is not relevant to me individually

Education should be free and personalized and not so mandatory.

No cap but large grants or loan forgiveness to students for in demand professions and extremely gifted students.

I think education should be achievable by all. I also believe that those who have more than others can afford to pay more than others. How does someone with one dollar ever compete with someone who holds one million dollars.

Yes, and the government should provide free education to Canadian Citizens followed by a requirement that graduates work for Cnadian Government, Non profit or Canadian owned businesses for the number of years they studied as in Australia.

Yes, and the government should provide free university education to those who cannot afford it but are shown to be capable and willing to work and learn.

You should have to pay for your first year and then the last 3 years the tuition is free.

Yes, tuition rates at public universities should be capped at zero

In public universities, yes. In private ones, no.

I'm bot really sure

Only for Canadian citizens not foreigners.

the private universities should be free to do whatever but any university taking tax payer dollars should be regulated by the government

Real Canadian residents should experience easy access post secondary. Foreign students should pay through the nose

Yes, post secondary should affordable and reduced for higher grade point average.

As long as it does not cost tax payer.

The government should not be involved in our education and indoctrination system

Education could be cheaper by changing it to pass exams while students can use online resouces to study for exams!

No. As long as there remain options for education to be subsidized for qualified individuals.

University should be free - education is a right and a University degree is the 1990's High School Diploma.

university fee for programmes like under-graduation is not as high but the tuition fee is high for master programmes like med school and law school which makes sense also. however, there are many international students who want to study in Canada, students with great potential. the fee for them should not be as high as it is now. it is more than even triple the fee for a residence or a citizen.

Cut government employee wages and frivolous unnecessary spending and have government funded post secondary education. So all Canadian youth have the opportunity without incurring years of student loan debt. Strong minds and educated youth mean a stronger nation moving forward.

No, but tuition for every program should be reduced by the same amount to make schooling more affordable for everyone.

No but schools should offer free apprenticeships classes from grade 10 on. We put too much emphasis on education and not enough on experience and hands on training.

Yes but depends on family income level. Lower income higher subsidies, higher income, lower subsidies.

School should be free like my country

free post secondary

Education should not be privatized. Along with foreign education should not be aloud to be purchased over Canadians being eligible to a free education.

Stop paying for their outstanding loans so that Universities can't charge higher prices because more kids can afford it

I think university tuition should take into account general economics and available jobs when considering tuition

The federal government should adopt the same education platform as Australia wherein your education is free up until you have worked in your chosen career for a year.

This should be based on the level of education given to the student by the University.

Restrict foreign students. Canadian students can't get into institutions because they favour high paying foreign students who then leave the country.

I would be cautious, but I would say yes. It helps keep education affordable for the general population, but it also encourages schools to be more transparent. However, there should also be investments in research and development, as well as funding to help schools done by the provinces and federal governments, as a way to help keep them updated.

No but yes provincally

I agree with more than one.

University should be free and all required and supplemental tools such as textbooks should be open source.

All education should be free to canadian citizens.

i believe that its a bit expensive so costs could drop a bit more but not be free

This is such a complex issue. Simply putting a cap on tuition rates would have other negative consequences - the government needs to provide support in other ways.

it should be more expensive

University professors need to be able to mark students work without worrying about the loss of potential income from international students.

Yes, and the government should provide free post-secondary education. Not just universities.

It's a difficult situation, as it could limit school's ability to provide more services to students as well as funding for other programs and research, but it could also really help some students as well with the high cost of living. I would say a middle ground is to form a students union so that there is a least discussion.

Yes, For Canadian Citizens ONLY.

Yes but the cap should be on administrative costs

We have a global crisis. Any schooling for professions that experiencing shortage should be free. The professions that include solving the environmental cirrus should be free. Lets gear every action into the direction of solving this crisis. The ocean floors being destroyed, old growth forests being cut down, carbon foot print, moving from fossil fuels to renewable resources. Call for massive action and it starts with education.

Tuition rate should be based on income expected to be reaped by specialty

Yes, goverment should provide free post secondary education to all born and raised Canadian citizens.

No, and universities should be employee-owned along with student involvement.

Yes and limit foreign students. University profits from foreign students at the expense of less seats for locals.

Post secondary education should be free to all with a repayment program starting when individuals annual income reach $30,000.00, collection being done through income taxes. Australia uses this system.

No post secondary education should be free.

I realize costs are huge with facilities, but it has become like sports, doesn't matter you could be fantastic if you have money for all these academies, you never go any ware... Money is dictating who gets opportunity... If post secondary of good quality was available to everyone, perhaps we could be educated iat secondary and gain well paying jobs /careers, purchase homes and contribute to Canadian economy, just as sports... Some of the best athletes are crushed by poverty, not by skill, as selection tend to focus only on money paying academies, some of the incredible athletes are excl…  Read moreuded, not bec of skill, but bec. Of money, same with post secondary... Many intelligent are poor and do not want to incur astronomical debt for school then life, check out Norway... Post secondary should be open to all Canadians if they choose, then maybe we could produce some great professionals who are passionate about their future, not just if you have money or not to go to post secondary, also in Norway, medical and dental for citizens...

Canadians born in Canada should get preferred rate and reduced entry level requirements. Plus 60% of spots should be Canadian citizens first

The government shouldn't have anything to do with education

Most likely. It is definitely not in the right space right now.

Yes, and provide free tuition for students of lower income brackets

Programs that contribute to society should be given a break/incentivized through lower tuitions

Tuition should be 100% free for all Canadian citizens

No, post-secondary education should be the responsibility of the provinces and the first year of a Bachelor’s or trades apprentice program should be free.

Provide free university education for everyone while privatizing education and let the free market decide and should be tied to inflation

Place a cap on the educational costs for domestic students, and provide incentives to balance the difference.

To that level that makes if fair for the students, professors, and the taxpayer.

We should all be peace loving monkeys who can reside where we please. I do side with the majority if it is over 70% because I lack any confidence in my opinions.

Regulates hit that all get out of it

Cap on tuition increases for international students

No, tuition fees to foreign students should increase greatly. Tuition fees for Canadian students should be at a lower amount.

I'm skeptical. How would this affect research and other services?

Both collage and university should have free schooling for trades or stem cell courses But if your takeimg some liberal arts they you should pay out of your own pocket.

Free for Canadian students.

Yes, except tbe large foreign students we feign over to get their 4x fees paid in cash ad will get preferential placement.

Don’t know enough about post secondary tuition to make a comment on this question.

Tuition free education for the most talented students who pass stringent exams.

Should be provincial decision.

Yes but depends on family income level. Lower income higher subsidies, higher income, lower subsidies.
