On Monday, Statscan put out a “Portrait of Youth and Education in Canada,” which includes the following graph accompanied by a note to the effect that Canada has one of the highest post-secondary attainment rates in the world because of our high community colleges/polytechnic participation rates.

Yesterday, we examined student income during COVID. On aggregate, income might not have dropped at all once the Canada Education Student Benefit is taken into the equation, though there was probably some re-distribution of money away from students who work summers to those who don’t.

This joint publication between HEPI and HESA focuses on international higher education financing, discussing the concept of Targeted Free Tuition (TFT)--the idea that, while tuition fees backed by income-contingent loans can improve access, they still do not do enough to help students from the lowest-income households, who are typically the most debt averse. TFT assumes that these families should be partially or wholly exepted from fees. In this report, Alex Usher and Robert Burroughs explore examples of this subsidization approach from around the world.
