What the 2011 budget has in mind for Post Secondary
The 2011 will be coming this afternoon with $1 billion program, which will allow high school students to attend post secondary. The person generating the idea for the education program is Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff.
The Liberals will be funding the program by cutting back corporate tax money; the money going to high school students will be tax-free. It will be available to students who are from a low-income family or going to college/university after high school.
Also in the budget will be a $309 million going to colleges and universities to create 60,000 new spaces for students. Creating these spaces will allow for more students to attend post secondary education.
