OTTAWA, March 20, 2013 /CNW/ - Students will be available to comment on
the 2013 Federal Budget immediately following its release on Thursday,
March 21. During pre-budget consultations, the Canadian Federation of
Students recommended restoring federal funding for post-secondary
education to 1992 levels, redirecting funding from education tax
credits and savings schemes into upfront grants, and strengthening
financial support for Aboriginal students.
THE FACTS:
Tuition fees in Canada range from $7,180 (Ontario) and $2,649
(Newfoundland and Labrador) and have increased at five times the rate
of inflation since the mid 1990s.
National student debt has surpassed $15 billion and is expected to
surpass $19 billion before 2015.
More than 171,000 Canadians were unable to make any payments on their
student loans in 2012.
More than 20,000 First Nations students are currently on a waiting list
to receive funding to pursue post-secondary education. Funding
increases have been capped at 2 percent since 1996.
WHAT:
Canadian Federation of Students responds to 2013 Federal Budget
The Canadian Federation of Students is Canada's largest student
organisation, uniting more than one-half million students in all ten
provinces. The Federation and its predecessor organisations have
represented students in Canada since 1927.
