Dalton McGuinty wants to make them reach deeper in their pockets – because he’s raising their college and university tuition fees by 20 to 36 per cent over four years.
New Democrats stand up for students. We believe they should be able to afford a high-quality post-secondary education – because young people are our future – because we all benefit from a highly-educated workforce – and because no-one should have to mortgage their future to build a better life for themselves.
Dalton McGuinty promised positive change. Instead of progress, we’re seeing the same old approach – more tuition hikes – even though Ontario students already pay tuition fees well above the national average.
The NDP has a fresh idea – the Tuition Hike Ban bill. If passed, the bill would freeze tuition through 2007, then give working families their say on the issue in the next provincial election.

NDP Education Critic Rosario Marchese is condemning the corporatization of Ontario’s public education system.
“This creeping corporatization of our public schools is disturbing and a betrayal of the founding principles of public education,” said Marchese. “Every school should be an excellent school – providing teachers with everything they need so they can provide students with the education they deserve. Dalton McGuinty promised to put kids first, instead, he’s allowing our public education system to fall into corporate hands.”
