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

Education is a path towards Peace.

do not add a cap to international students who want to study full-time in Canada but cap tuition costs for Canadian citizens attending full-time post secondary studies.

Yes, tuition rates are way too high. Students need an education to get a good job but work the rest of their lives to pay off the debt. Professors make WAY beyond what they need at the expense of the students.

I’m good with the cost but the professors should not be able to strike if a student has to pay to be there.

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, 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.

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

Regardless, all education should be free for any Canadian citizen

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.

University should be free of charge.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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, 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.

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

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

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

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

Universities are being more and more out dated, we should focus on alternative education strategies and BA equivalencies, if you can learn 90% of a university degree online for free then their is something wrong with the system

Free post-secondary education funded by public tax dollars should follow student enrolment to both public or private institutions. This would create competition between private and public institutions, leading to higher learning standards. Program offerings, or at least recommendations, should be tailored to current or perceived future job market conditions to prevent high numbers of low demand skilled workers

Proportionate to income, or good amount of decent financial assistance for lowest income.

No, education is outside of the federal government's purview.

the reason why school is so expensive is supply and demand, giving people more alternatives to Uni will be best for everyone, and we already spend alot on the hard sciences

It should be universal free and be made cost-effective via virtual ecosystems and platforms.

Get the government out of college.

Yes, and the government should increase tax rates on International Students to provide free education for Canadian Citizens.

It should be capped so that it is affordable for people but not so low so that the people who run a university are underpayed

Student tuition should only pay for things they use at the school

It should be based on family income and a sliding scale

Yes university costs more now with respect to the cost of living than ever before, even with the subisidy. We should also gear people towards the trades

I don't think that putting on a cap for tuition is possible. the reason why is because you can't just make something cheaper for what it's worth. Meaning you can't make people sell their "product" for less than what it costs them to provide it.

Universities shouldn't be controlled by the government but shouldn't be crazily high that students can't afford it.

tuition should be free.

It should depend on the students family or students income

I feel like people shouldn't be held back by the amount of money they have to spend on schooling.

Yes, and the government should provide free university education to those coming from low-income households.

no, because they need to be able to pay to keep the building running somehow you cant trust the government to do everything but lower the cost

Yes, make post-secondary education tuition free.

I don’t have enough information on the subject

i don't have enough information on the subject

No, but there should be targeted free tuition

Yes, and I think maybe the government should provide free university education. I'm not as educated on this topic as I'd like to be to make a good stance on this, but I do know that based on today's minimum wage, it's often incredibly hard to pay for tuition, student loans and other costs. So having cheaper or free university educations would be highly beneficial.

Tuition should be determined on a sliding scale

Provinces should put a cap on it.

Federal funding and grants should be tied to having tuition be affordable; pricing still remains their choice

Tuition cap based on household income.

I don’t understand the question

bro idk what any of these questions mean

No. It should be a provincial responsibility.

should be funnded

The government should only be investing in university degrees where it is necessary (e.g. medical school), and focus its other investments in jobs instead of degrees

They need us to work in professional fields for the future of the country more than we need it for ourselves so why would we pay them to work for them. Education should be free.

University costs should reflect what is necessary to run the courses. Schooling should be non-profit.

Yes, but ultimately tuition rates should be based on what is necessary.

Education should be free .

Yes, It should be tied to inflation to prevent the "cartel" like pricing educational institutions currently enjoy.

Yes, based on wage increase

Higher education should be readily available to all walk of life not just the wealthy. Tuition rates are way to high

Somewhat privatize post-secondary education and give the free market more weight

They should have a yearly cap that increases each year by a certain amount

Should be able to take equivalencies test to obtain degree or certification

no, reduce loans and grants provided to non-STEM or healthcare related fields
