I agree with this, I do think that education should remain subsidized because of the obvious benefit to the province and the country but the student should have to put capital towards it as well. It isn't cheap but anything worth achieving in life isn't. Student loans are one option and I would like a system where if a certain GPA is reached X percentage of the student loan is forgiven and if for high demand professions they stay in Alberta (Doctors and Nurses come to mind) a certain percentage is forgiven and if they relocate to a rural setting where the services are in demand then a further percentage is forgiven.
