Quebec judge invalidates tuition hike, French requirements for out-of-province university students | CBC News

Quebec has announced plans to increase tuition fees for non-Quebec residents attending English-language universities, starting in the 2024-25 academic year. The move is intended to protect the French language and save French-language institutions. The annual tuition for non-Quebecers will rise to $17,000 from around $9,000. This decision has sparked concerns among university officials about decreased enrollment, financial impacts, and potential job losses. The provincial government aims to redistribute funds collected from these increased fees to support French-language universities.
