The University of Prince Edward Island Student Union has called on the Government of Prince Edward Island to improve the supports the government provides to PSE students. UPEISU members presented six recommendations to MLAs last week, which included removing barriers to financial aid, setting a limit on tuition increases, and facilitating the transition from academia to the workforce. “These recommendations aren’t only about education,” said UPEISU VP Shreesh Agrawal. “They’re also really to sustain the future of PEI and ensure that the economy keeps going and developing… by retaining young talent.” A report including the union’s recommendations will be provided to PEI for further consideration.
