Should postsecondary education be a provincial or federal responsibility?

depends on the credentials. what pays better, a consultancy in a mid level bureaucracy in Ottawa or some entry level paying oil rig job in Alberta

I would say federal only because I'm in Alberta and the UCP is are kleptocrats, but under normal circumstances I'd say provincial.

Education should still be free but without government involvement, The government should have the outline but the PATs are stupid

I do not care whatever government brings the most amount of money in and success of students for the benefit of Canada.

Both levels of government should play a equal role in making post secondary more affordable but nothing else

Many students travel outside of their home province for post-secondary education, so it would be easier for students if it were all the same.

As long as we get free education; it doesn’t matter whether it is a provincial or federal responsibility.

They should be able to pick their own stance

No. Neiher. Bupkis.

I mean both

Universities should be public and free to attend. University should be a federal responsibly.

It should be up to your own self

It doesn't matter as long as they give better support and offer more money to help pay for students tuition by either enforcing universities to lower the tuition or help pay for some of the costs debt free.

We need to better our country's spending to be inline with the money needed for higher education. Provincial should have more involvement, but federal would make better workflow if added.

both federal and provincial, federal for low income, provincial for high opportunity for people to stay in the province

Education should not b as generating business . So my opinion is that support student and given access to all regardless of afford or not because purpose is spreading education and if someone don’t afford that also have to have access to education and student have a right to give funding to themselves and then they if could pay to college and universities they ll pay and if there is class and if who don’t afford they must accommodate as they may b potential so if the y ll get education they ll b empower so deprive any one from education ll b a disaster so there must b passion to…  Read more assist student as much as they. Just diplomas are not enough they need to teach skills for empowerment as adult education needed to more given opportunities like skills computer skills there must b a college where different subject can b teach like a Accra on different topics it’s full time student where like one period for English one for different subject sit when they graduates means ll have more opportunities to get job and they ll have all dimension of subject access so all skills needed to teach as how to apply job resume making all practice need to introduce make ppl ready for job so as they get graduates from college they could b able to empower they must have all potential skills for job so it ll beneficial for job and for empowerment as who study in Canada as high school or schooling from here so who are unable to study here they need to teach so they could b get equalient graduation and so they also could continue there education and who as a immigrant cannot fulfill the dream of taking education when they came to Canada as adult whenever they become citizen of study later after citizen they must prepare for job and in each college must b provide education for low income so all could have access to education regardless if they have sfgird or not ! Spreading education is the key to success there in institution driving courses life support courses computer courses IT science and technology must b introduce so anyone who gradu

they should both own responsibility

The government should aid with money but it should not be fully covered

Split between both

Provincial, that way theres more opportunitys for more specific education and resources, instead of just a "one size fits all" type of education

Federal, it should be fully covered by the government

There should be federal and provincial access the student loans but what is taught is left to the post secondary institutions

Post-secondary should be a joint provincial and federal responsibility.

Either way it’s fine

Does not matter, it should be free

not applicable to me

Should have funding (combined should equal about 60%) from both federal and provincial to ensure standards and maintain diverse programs to prevent corporate funding being high enough to dictate what a post secondary school can teach

It should be a shared responsibility, but please reduce the amount of standardized testing.

both would be good for education.

not up to me

Both, they need to work together

I think both provincial and federal should be responsible.

I don"t have enough information and could not find much online

Post secondary should not be influenced by the government.

Um I'm not really sure

The government should not be heavily involved with higher education unless it is required when meeting specific skill requirements like doctor or lawyer or certain trades that directly apply to the Canadian government and people.

Black people suck

University and high education should be more private than public.

If you go to post secondary education you should pay for it with cash or student loans

It should be the individuals responsibility

It depends what province you are coming from.

Best question is too vague needs to be more specific

I believe it should be funded publicly,and that standards should be left to the province

I think there are responsibilities and tolls for both

Since the education system is very inconsistent federally, and is different in each province, doing it on a federal level would interfere and invalidate some of the parts of school that people learned, and teaching people more advanced stuff compared to stuff they might not have learn, so to give them advanced classes/more classes that they might not have been apart of or not available inside the place of their education. So provincial level so that the education can be consistent towards what they were learning in their primary school.

Federal for Recognition of tickets and degrees but minimal involvement

it is already borh

School is Garbage

The way it is now is fine

Education should be free for all canadians and encouraged by government

Shouldn't be payed by the public

stay the same as it is now

Adequate funding and keeping political ideology out of funding no matter where it comes from. Fair Federal funding might keep the nitwits from making funding choices

Both. The education of our citizens is vital to the success of our nation.

ur responsible for your education and future.

Post secondary should be free. People should not be starting life $100,000 in debt. Many other countries give free post secondary

No government should have involvement in post secondary education

Yes, I think both should share an equal responsibility

The Federal government should set minor standards, but very limited.
Provincial governments should hold the majority of regulatory power, but shouldn't be given to much power.
The municipal governments should be in charge of regulating local and community colleges.
Community groups should also work with the community college regulating people.
Private companies should be in charge of their own for-profit post secondaries.
Charities can run non profit post secondary schools.
School Boards can also run their own post secondary schools.

In the current economy, it is almost impossible to obtain a standard full-time job without postsecondary education, therefore it is absurd for postsecondary institutions to be privatized and heavily profited off of.

i guess we should just pay for our own.

Post secondary is expensive. If the government wants the economy to thrive and flourish we need people to be able to afford education required for those higher level jobs

a joint role for the Province to manage education of Federal standards, and funded by both

federal cause it's going to be federals problem when education is not good cause economy will go down

Postsecondary education is formatted to profit the government more than the teachers. I think education should have standards monitored by government, however the curriculum should not be affected by the government.

Education should not cost

Both the Federal and Provincial governments should be responsible for post-secondary education

Federal, with each school board being able to inquire as to the necessity of a student learning each topic and if that topic will help them in their carriers.

Postsecondary should be free and done by the federal government.

I think both, spread the cost among federal and Provincial

It should be both. Provincial should do what they can and federal should oversee and help. A province with lower populations and fewer post secondary institutions could need full federal support.

my stances

What is it currently?

Should be free like elementary school

Neither it should be the individuals responsibility only

i dont have enough information to an option at this time

For funding only. Post secondary should stabilize itself without government interference.

postsecondary should be the useres responsobility

Only after the student has a job

Provincially managed with federal redistribution of funds to ensure equality

Post Secondary institutions should ensure balanced view points and funding should be partially tied to campuses fostering healthy debate and not echo chambers

I’m fine with how it is now

The government shouldn't be responsible

Personal responsibility. Provincial student loans must be repaid!!! No bankruptcy protection permitted.

There should be an annual flat amount that is funded federally for all qualifying institutions (could come with requirements and standards to ensure consistency) but last that it should be largely provincially funded and managed

Need consistency across Canada.

Should be both federal and provincial

More money should be allocated to educate our youth. Keep the money in Canada and spend less overseas

Provide a share of the loan only for the student to get the exact learning they need no more bs course that have no need in life

I think government can be involved in establishing minimum educational standards with the basics...reading, writing, math, etc...but educators need to stay away of social issues...educators should not be able to impose their views on children

Federal government should have standards, but everything else shouldn’t at all be influenced by government.

Depending on the programs.

The Federal government should amend provincial education and have Canadian Education under one division of government in a partnership with its provinces and territories. We are currently an education in which or nation is divided. This should be rectified in the decades to come.

I don't have much info on the issue.

should be supported by both

The level of schooling should be equal in all provinces.

It should be payed for by the federal government but only ONE degree, and after that they will have to take care of it themselves.

They should both have some role in the responsibility.

School might be the most useless place on earth, I learn zero life skills
