Quebec plans to double tuition fees for out-of-province students attending Anglophone universities

Quebec plans to double tuition fees for out-of-province Canadian students attending Anglophone universities by 2024, aiming to gather funding for francophone universities.

The government will also charge these universities for each international student recruited, directing the funds exclusively to francophone universities.

By not subsidizing the education of out-of-province Anglophone students, Quebec intends to allocate taxpayer money elsewhere.

This move is driven by the desire to address the decline of the French language in Quebec, which is attributed to the influx of Anglophone students who do not speak French.

Quebec aims to rebalance its university network and language policies by attracting more francophone students to francophone universities.
