Top 10 Reasons to attend the November 5 Day of Action 

10.             Ontario tuition fees are now the third highest in Canada but we’ve had the highest increases. 

9.     Depending on the program, tuition fees are set to increase anywhere from 20 to 36 percent over four years.

8.     An undergraduate student graduates with an average of 28,000 dollars in debt.

7.     International students generally pay 3 to 4 times more in tuition fees than a domestic student

6.     Government investment into post secondary education should be a priority.

5.     The TRUE university experience is three things; getting your degree, getting a tattoo, and ATTENDING a protest.

4.     Tuition fee increases undermine equality and discriminate against those who are already economically disadvantaged.

3.     Students coming from wealthier families are 5.6 times more likely to attend a post secondary institution than their low-income neighbors.

2.     We won before, we can win again.  In 2003 it was our Day of Action that won a tuition fee freeze; this past year students won a national system of upfront, needs-based grants.

1.      Education is a right!
