Have you notice that Canadian full-time students in undergraduate programs paid 3.6% more on average on tuition fees in the 2008/2009 academic year compared with a year earlier? It’s the fact and this follows a 2.8% increase in 2007/2008.
Full-time undergraduate students paid an average of $4,724 in tuition fees for the 2008/2009 academic year, up from $4,558 a year earlier. This is an annual average increase of 4.4% over the tuition of $3,064 paid in 1998/1999. In contrast, inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, rose at an annual average rate of 2.3% between 1998/1999 and 2007/2008. As a result, many students have to work many years after graduation to pay off their OSAP or even can not afford their education.
Are you also the one suffering form the increased tuition?
