Yesterday, Community Affairs Executive Abdus Samad Khan presented the priorities of students at TRU to the BC Committee on Finance and Government Services during consultations for the 2027 BC Budget.
Our recommendations included:
1️⃣ Maintain the domestic tuition fee cap to keep post-secondary education affordable.
2️⃣ Increase the BC Access Grant and expanding the Future Skills Grant to reduce financial barriers and student debt.
3️⃣ Provide resources to implement the recommendations of the post-secondary sector review.
4️⃣ Provide clarity and consistency in the funding model for post-secondary education across the sector.
