It is Time to Invest in Post-Secondary Education 
To build Alberta's future we must act now. This government must invest in universal access to childcare, fund quality resources in K-12 and create an accessible system for all in postsecondary education. Public Interest Alberta's task forces on education, childcare and postsecondary education have joined together to bring attention to these needs across our education system.
Public Interest Alberta held a series of eight forums and a major conference on post-secondary education in 2006, culminating in the full-length discussion document
Where to From Here? A Vision and Plan for Post-Secondary Education in Alberta. We heard from articulate and concerned students who value post-secondary education and are distressed that so many unnecessary barriers and roadblocks are put in their way - as one student said, "it shouldn't have to be this difficult to get an education." We also heard from faculty members who are fully committed to providing a high quality education, but are too often being denied the support and tools to do so.
Based on this input, PIA’s task force has identified four key areas of concern, and has proposed a vision for improving Alberta’s post-secondary system in each of these areas. Click on the links below to read more, and then
