Student Alliance President Joey O'Kane tells CHSJ News his pessimism is based on a meeting with Post Secondary Education Minister Martine Coulombe who indicated she would be lying if she said tuition fees would not be rising in over the next academic year.
O'Kane points out over the last 30 years, the cost of post secondary education has risen by 650 per cent while the inflation rate has gone up by 220 per cent.
He warns a university education is becoming less affordable with some students having to work two jobs, take out a loan and a line of credit just to keep financially afloat.
