Very strongly agree

Provincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency

The NDP would strongly agree with postsecondary education being provincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency. This approach aligns with their historical stance on the issue, as they have consistently advocated for increased federal funding and collaboration with provinces to improve postsecondary education. For example, in their 2019 election platform, they proposed a national plan to make postsecondary education more affordable and accessible, which would involve working with provinces to establish common standards and goals.

Provincial
