Post-secondary education is the key to unlocking a better life.

Whether you’re a young person starting a career, or looking to change careers, post-secondary provides that opportunity to increase your income and pursue your dreams.

Over the last four years, the UCP cut $700 million from the operating budgets of Alberta’s universities, colleges and technical institutions. The cuts have resulted in canceled programs, campus closures, staff layoffs and steep tuition hikes on students during a period of 40-year-high inflation.

These UCP tuition spikes have made life more expensive for students and their families. For some Albertans, Danielle Smith and the UCP have pushed post-secondary education out of reach altogether.

An Alberta NDP government will freeze tuition at 2022-23 levels, canceling the latest round of tuition hikes proposed by Danielle Smith, and capping any future increases to inflation.

This plan will save 300,000 Alberta students more than $100 million this year.

The students in our universities, colleges, trade schools and polytechnics are the high-skilled workers of the future.

They are the innovators and entrepreneurs of the future.

Let’s invest in ourselves, and make sure that all of this talent and inspiration gets a chance to thrive.
