Good. Access to technology should be dramatically reducing the cost of education, not increasing it.

This has nothing to do with technology, it's just petty politics. Legault thinks this will play well with voters in strategic ridings, and that's all this is about.

No mention of other schools. Shouldn't they be protesting in solidarity with their fellow students? Pretty sure ROC students protested the tuition hikes in 2012 too even though the main targets were QC students.

With the amount of international students being brought in, I thought this was to be expected? Unless they cut the bloat in their systems (which I feel is the least likely it has seemed) then tuition of local students will have to be increased to make up for that lost income.

The Quebec government is increasing costs for domestic students, independent of the announced changes for international students.

They can't increase local tuition since it's set by the government.

[–] deeferg 1 points 10 months ago

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the government would see this need for more income through local students/the set of international students they have coming in, so they'd have to raise it for the schools themselves.

It's more just a money in/money out comment. Not sure I said it was the universities increasing the tuition themselves.

The government also sets the out-of-province and international tuition.
