Green Party and Students

What does Mike think about students?
Tuition fees should never, ever be a barrier to education
Tuition fees should not be a debt sentence
Students from universities and colleges should have a healthy, sustainable future to look forward to
Students should be heard and not ignored in Ottawa
Universities and colleges are critical hubs of green innovation and creativity
Mike wants students to vote

What will Mike do for students?
Forgive 50% of a student’s loan when they complete their degree
Enable universities to increase spaces for student enrollment in exchange for tuition fee reductions
Restore and expand the federal government’s student summer job program
Increase research grants to support development of new green technologies
Create a fund for excellence in post secondary teaching in which funding is increased as the student to professor ratio decreases.

‘Education is the key to equity of opportunity, personal growth and enrichment, informed democratic debate and decision making, social mobility and the research and development that is essential to deal with climate change and a multitude of other challenges.’
