CAFA responds to NDP Post-secondary Review
The most important challenge to Alberta’s PSE system is to maintain the quality and accessibility of post-secondary education for all Albertans. Our largest research universities have recently slipped down in the international rankings and our regional and undergraduate universities have undergone significant changes in recent years. This apparent reduction of quality has nothing to do with the abilities of professors, researchers and administrators but rather has to do with the loss of funding over the same time period and how universities in other jurisdictions have increased their funding in the same period. Accessibility is also an issue for Alberta’s PSE system: tuition has increased greater than inflation and more seats are going to international students who pay higher tuition fees, as administrations attempt to deal with this loss of funding. This means qualified Albertan students are having to delay or forgo their studies, as well as move to other jurisdictions to attend the program of their choice. read more
