Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NPD party, proposes forgiving up to $20,000 of student loan debt and doubling student grants, as well as giving new graduates a five-year grace period for federal loan payments. This is based on the fact that, according to studies, in recent years, numerous students have been unable to repay their academic loans.
I would say Maybe, because people need to go to school to be successful.
This issue should be addressed once we can afford it.
Only as long as they are going to pay me back the money I paid for my education too (inclusive of a BSc, BEd, 2 MEd and 2 Certification programs of study.
Add more subsidies for Canadian citizens in matters of school tuition .
Add more grants and incentive
Government should reduce up to 20,000 of student loan debt once for each citizen
The government should forgive debts but not up to 20,000 unless it is a medical course
Seems too high a number, should be in relation to an algorithm that can make this fair for all families. Some need a lot more help than others and 20k per student is too much to forgive. Kids gotta start working in high school like they used to.
No, but eliminate interest on student loans
It depends on whether they can contribute enough in ratio to their debt
Only for certain degree programs & on a case by case basis
Again more money for immigrants, while the rest of us are paying $1000 monthly interest to banks on our debt.
The government should provide more free education in high need areas
@9WKKTR24mos
Only if they graduate from a program.
Forgive all student debt, free post secondary schooling
No only for students that pay their own way though school And not payed by their parents
Only if the students major in an industry with high job demands
If they will not be able to pay off the debt with good grades like a scholarship
Reduce student loan interest close to zero
Dependent on individual circumstances
It depends on the situation. How much money the person owes, what they used the money for, how much they make at the end of their studies/throughout their career.
There needs to be a lot of qualifiers for this. I did not agree with everything being grants, however I also do not agree with everything being loans and charging students ridiculous interest.
Depends on the earning potential of the individual who has the loan
Forgive 100 percent of student loan debt
5k per year for every successful completed year.
Student Loans should not exist, forgive all student debt. Free tuition for all Canadians.
Yes, if graduates are unsuccessful in finding work in their field, and/or dependant on salary in their field.
Yes, and also give all citizens a forgives of 20,000 dollars
Only those that have completed their program or degree
Depends on individuals
Depends on the il wealth of the student
Only in certain circumstances
Yes, the last 20k for graduated students
No, but the interest on student loans should be reduced, or removed.
Yes, for science, engineering, commerce, medical/biological fields. No for fine arts, political studies, languages...
Yes but only if certain academic scores are met.
If they had $60000 or more owing yes.
Depending on the student's situation
If they can do a back flip
Debt is just a number
For students whom their grades prove up to the mark as well low income students without children. Bills are bills and those whom do not have kids are paid the bare minimum. Those students should have equal opportunity.
No, I believe that we can not satisfy nor support all students in any answer. We could reduce student debt however not to a point where too low but not too high. There should be a good and fair debt cost for all or at least most students could accept.
No but implement more grants and bursaries.
I believe we as a nation should forgive debts to poorer people only if they do not misuse the right and continuously not pay tax.
This would hyper-inflate our "currency" giving the economy less purchasing power.
We can give some scholarships to students who have debt, and forgive some low income students
Forgive debt only up to $12,000
