During the 2011 Ontario election, the government was elected, in part, based on a promise to reduce tuition fees by 30 per cent. As of now, the tuition fee reduction will not be for all students in Ontario - instead, the government is introducing a grant that 2/3 of students in the province will NOT get. It's up to students to hold them to their promise! Join the movement to DROP FEES and gear up for the National Day of Action on February 1!

Students have long called for a tuition fee reduction and are pleased that the government has committed $430 million dollars to provide a grant for some students. However, students hope to work with the Ontario government to improve the policy. We are concerned that the tuition fee grant will exclude students who need it the most, is inadequate at assessing need, will be expensive to administer, will be difficult to implement at an institutional level and will fail to bring more access to the sector in the way that the government intends.
