February 1 Reduce Fees National Student Day of Action

The NDP government recently announced that they will cut funding to universities by three percent and increase tuition fees by three percent for Canadian students for 2012-13. Tuition fees for international students and students in dentistry, medicine and law are not included under the cap and will be allowed to increase at an unregulated rate. Funding for Nova Scotia universities is already below 1990 levels and tuition fees are some of the highest in the country.

The government will also examine increasing tuition fees for students from other provinces above three percent for 2013-14 and the government will review its tuition fee policy for all students over the next three years.

Join the campaign to restore funding to post-secondary education and reduce tuition fees and take part in the national student day of action on February 1, 2012.
