Tuition fee changes for out-of-province students may impact interest in QC: Opinion

In a recent article for Le Devoir, Zacharie Goudreault discusses how student interest in pursuing an education in Québec may be changing, due to the new tuition fees charged to out-of-province domestic students. Goudreault writes that tuition fees are nearly 18% higher than the Canadian average and 6.4% higher than the Ontario average. Additionally, the 33% fee increase that was put into place in Fall 2024 for these students has had repercussions for English-language universities. The Comité consultatif sur l’accessibilité financière aux études argued that QC should return to its previous approach to enhance education accessibility.
