It's laughable, at best," [Garry Sran] said. "They're missing the other costs of education, like room and board. "Students are graduating with more debt than ever. The issue is up-front costs," Sran said. "Tax credits are not helpful -- why not provide them up front? She emphasized that eventually reducing the initial cost of tuition may be a byproduct of the stay-in-Manitoba rebate, but the government's purpose in creating the rebate "is a retention strategy" to keep Manitoba graduates here, [Diane McGifford] said. Over time, "it does make education more accessible," she added.
Why the U of S turned down half a million is simple enough: the kind-hearted donor stipulated she didn't want the money going to aboriginal people. Of course, that's discrimination because you're excluding a race of people. If you don't understand that you should be doing some educational reading of your own. Sure, it's fine to set up a scholarship for "white people," but don't set up a scholarship that expressly excludes a race. Was I jealous or feeling like she had some kind of entitlement she didn't deserve? Heck, no. If she could get some funding to get an education and better her life, why shouldn't she. She earned that support through the hard work that got her there.

Family which is Arab world the basic social unit in the Arab world was also affected by education, economic development and labor market transformations (Badran, 2003; Barakat, 1985; Mogadham, 2003; Rashad et al., 2005). Instead of the husband being the sole bread winner, dual earner marriages became commonplace to keep up with the rising cost of living. Oil revenues facilitated economic growth as well as social development offering free education and health services, as the new wealth was seen as a national asset.
SIXTY YEARS AGO More than 130 families living in trailer parks on private property within the city are receiving tax-free education, fire, police protection and garbage pickup at a cost of $25,000 annually to Brandon.
A lot of people come to me and say 'you get free education'," stated rally organizer and student representative, Cadmus Delorme. "As a First Nations person I do not get free education. My forefathers prepaid for my education by letting the new settlers settle on this land, (to) let Canada come in as a government. "If people have difficulty with recognition of the treaty right to education," stated [Perry Bellegarde]. "Look upon it as an investment. It's an investment in human capital."
John Lagimodiere and Leanne Bellegarde presented "Aboriginal myth-busting" to attendants at the SaskCulture conference on October 24 in Saskatoon. Lagimodiere shared perspectives as a relative of Louis Riel and a Métis who, "for a buck fifty and my status card, can get a coffee at Tim Horton's". Free money, no taxes" was one of many topics Lagimodiere was once asked during a presentation what day was "cheque day" for all First Nations and Métis people. The questioner believed part of the treaty included a monthly government payment to everyone of First Nations descent. Other widespread beliefs include unlimited health and dental care, free education at all levels, and even free cable. "But First Nations assert a treaty rate to education," noted Lagimodiere. "Often the intent and unders...
First of all, this is not 'free education.' As part of the treaty agreements, aboriginal people were guaranteed education. Secondly, there is no question that education programs improve employment opportunities for aboriginal people. Lastly, if Harper and his neo-Conservative supporters want to renegotiate treaties, maybe the aboriginal people would be willing to exchange their education right for the rights to all the resources, including oil, that they gave to the Canadian governments, including Harper's home province of Alberta. "I am a sponsored aboriginal student and I don't think the government should turn post-secondary funding into repayable loans. Many of us struggle to pay for everyday things and the fact that we're given an opportunity to go to school is so amazing... The...
The Winnipeg Free Press editorial Education shell game must stop (Jan. 28) characterizes the education funding process in support of public education in our province as "a shell game." Further, in a year in which property values have gone through a reassessment and where the average property value from the last assessment period has risen in Winnipeg by some 73 per cent, the editorial predicts that school trustees will use this reassessment as an opportunity to substantially increase school board taxes -- something that it refers to as "pickpocketing. The funding of public schooling will always be both a critically important and a controversial public policy issue, and the balancing of our desire for the best possible education for our children with a fair and acceptable level of taxat...
