Adult Basic Education Canadian Federation of Students

Over the past year, members of the Canadian Federation of Students have campaigned for the elimination of tuition fees for adult basic education (ABE) courses. ABE courses give adults the opportunity to upgrade their high-school level education in a college and university-college setting.

Federation members and supporters sent hundreds and hundreds of handwritten letters and over 10,000 postcards to Members of the Legislative Assembly calling for the elimination of ABE fees. In addition, members of the Federation held over 75 meetings with government officials at which ABE was the primary focus of discussion.

The campaign efforts have paid off! In September, 2007 the BC Government announced the elimination of all fees for adult basic education.
