Media Advisory: Students Available to Comment on 2014 Provincial Budget

TORONTO, May 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Please be advised that students are available to comment on today's tabling of the 2014 Ontario Budget.

In January, students released their pre-budget submission, Education Works: Envisioning a Fairer Society for Ontario's Youth. In their submission, students called on the Province to eliminate tuition and education related tax credits and reinvest this funding into upfront, non-repayable grants, expand co-operative and work-integrated learning opportunities, and expand the number of teaching-focused faculty at Ontario's universities.
