Continue with the provincial post-secondary funding review and prioritize Emily Carr as important BC asset
Prioritize the swift completion of the provincial post-secondary funding review and realize the important asset that Emily Carr University is to BC's future.
@TheBCFS
WE ARE NOT CA$H COWS! @Dave_Eby @selinarobinson @AnneKangMLA — Pause the Emily Carr fee hikes and re-asses this historic de-regulation of International Student Fees.
10% tuition increase for current students and 30% for incoming students?! #stopthehikes#bcpoli
and a cap on International student fee increases. We need an annual Emily Carr funding adjustment of $7million annually to end the scarcity, fund equitable education and invest in BC’s creative economy.
WE ARE NOT CA$H COWS!!
Students from Emily Carr University are tired of seeing the institution being underfunded. International students are tired of being relied on to keep the institution alive.
@Dave_Eby @selinarobinson @EmilyCarrU#bcpoli#funditfixit#bced
Students wrote letters to our Members of the Legislative Assembly expressing the urge for immediate action. We ask for an increase of $200 million for post-secondary institutions in BC, and a Tuition Freeze for international students.
What do art and design graduates bring to our community and economy? Innovation, adaptation, creative solutions, sustainability, and inclusion. Here's what Alumni are experiencing. This is why we ask you @AnneKangMLA @BrendaBaileyBC@KahlonRav to #InvestCreative#bcpoli#bcpse
Art institutions are vital to the future of BC’s greener, creative economy. As alumni we are developing BC’s future but as students, our university is underfunded and we are struggling. Our Alumni are saying: Hey BC! #InvestCreative @AnneKangMLA #bcpoli@KahlonRav@melaniejmark
More good news!
One month ago, the B.C.'s transmission hotspot was Whistler.
Everyone there was given a chance to get a shot.
There were 410 cases in their local health area at the peak.
Last week, there were 39.
A 95% reduction, three weeks after mass vaccination.
@AnneKangMLA Creative industry is booming in our province. ECU is where that work force is born. With underfunded institutions and rising tuition are we setting students up for success? This is what students had to say about the rising cost of tuition #bcpse#bced#bcpoli
@AnneKangMLA Now more than ever students are struggling to keep up with the ever-increasing cost of post-secondary education. A freeze on tuition increases could mean a huge difference in their lives. This is what @EmilyCarrU students are saying #bcpoli#bcpse#bced#vanpoli
@AnneKangMLA We are seeing financial stress put a strain on our students' relationships with their institutions as well as their own communities. This is what a tuition freeze would mean to our students’
connection to their communities. #bcpoli#bcpse#bced
Hi @AnneKangMLA ! - students are feeling the crunch of the ever-increasing cost of education. Here’s what Emily Carr Students have to say about what freeze on tuition increases would mean to them. #bcpoli#bced#bcpse
Today the Federal government announced they will extend the suspension of interest accrual on Canada Student Loans and the doubling of the Canada Student Grant until 2023. Now it's time to make that permanent.
