TELL THE BC GOVERNMENT TO REINVEST IN OUR SCHOOLS
It’s time to turn up the pressure.
We need to tell the BC government that post-secondary cuts suck. Education has gotten more expensive, yet programs and student supports are being slashed left and right.
Public funding for post-secondary education in BC has dropped from 68% in 2000, to just 40% today—that’s a 28% drop. You’re paying the price through increased tuition fees.
What can we do? We have to be so loud they can’t ignore us. Join our movement to tell the BC government that students deserve better.
