Representatives from Newfoundland and Labrador’s five student unions met with Government of Newfoundland and Labrador Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development Paul Dinn this week, saying that Dinn has committed to freezing tuition in the coming year. Dinn did not clarify how the government intends to freeze tuition. Canadian Federation of Students NL representative Nicolas Keough welcomed the move. The potential freeze comes as institutions like Memorial University have been facing budget shortfalls. If frozen, this would mark the first tuition freeze in NL since 2021.
