The BC Green Party is committed to eliminating all postsecondary tuition fees. This would be phased in over time, but is necessary to allow improved access for all British Columbians to higher education. When Gordon Campbell came to power in 2001, he promised a 5% reduction in tuition fees. Instead his government has doubled tuition fees for all postsecondary students over the past four years. Three months before the election he’s promising to tie future tuition increases to inflation only. Do you believe him?
What’s worse is that none of the money from tuition fee increases has gone into education funding. In 2001, tuition fees were $450 million and postsecondary funding was $1.8 billion. Today, tuition fees are $900 million and postsecondary funding is still $1.8 billion. So where did the students’ money go? To pay for corporate and high-income earner tax cuts, of course. So let’s get rid of Gordon Campbell! For a candidate committed to higher education, vote for Damian Kettlewell and the Green Party!”
Come out Thursday, 7:00 - 9:00 PM to the Campoverde Social Club 1660 Cypress St (1st Ave in Kits) ... see you then, Damian
