Telling them exactly how exorbitantly high their fees are in advance & limiting them to 30% of a school doesn’t address the core issues that lead to international students being exploited + under-supported. 6/ #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli #internationalstudents #cdnpoli #cdnpse

Decades of BC govt underfunding and excluding international students from the policy limiting tuition increases to 2%/year has led to post-secondary institutions exploiting international students for revenue. 5/ #bcstudents #bcpse #bcpoli #internationalstudents #cdnpoli #cdnpse
