Every year Statistics Canada releases a report on tuition levels across the country. Nova Scotia has maintained the position as the most expensive province to obtain a post-secondary degree. In NS an average undergraduate student pays $6,571, which is more than $2,200 above the national average of $4,347. 1111111111 FRIDAY, SEPT 8, $10 The DSU, the Alliance of Nova Scotia Student Associations (ANSSA), our provincial lobby group, and GRAN~ IIIEfl BUS t.'lOtreJ rnm~n~rn the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA), SATURDAY, SEPT 9, $6 our federal lobby group, sent out press releases last 1enn Grant and The Night Painters Friday on the Stats Can report. All three +The Nordic Beat The DSU will also be taking a leading role in Education Day on Wednesday, September 13. This is an unprecedented event taking place simultaneously at more than a dozen student unions across the Maritimes. The intention of the day is to highlight the fact that students in the Maritimes face the highest costs in Canada. In Nova Scotia, not only is tuition the highest in the country, but the burden placed on students is rated to be the largest of any province or state, making Nova Scotia the least affordable jurisdiction in North America. I will be moderating a panel discussion starting at 6:30pm in the SUB, featuring a representative from the provincial government as well as both of the provincial opposition parties' post-secondary education critics. This is your chance to ask tough questions to those who are behind the policy decisions that affect your life as a student. Questions should be submitted in advance of the 13th to the VP Education Mike Tipping at [email protected].
