I'm all for spending on education as long as it goes to the right places. A general subsidy would be wrong IMO, as it would encourage foreigners from other countries to take cheap schooling in Alberta, then blaze when they're done.
Maybe subsidize tuition on Canadian citizens only? That would be nice.

Foreign students already pay significantly more than Canadian ones. Besides, some of that highly trained talent just might stay and be taxed afterwards, rather than jet back to their "countries".
In fact, I think the bigger issue is of students in general taking up space in Alberta universites, and leaving the province afterwards. Medical & nursing schools are a great example of that.
