HES-SO Tuition Increase
The announcement of the planned increase in tuition fees at HES-SO for the 2025 academic year has raised significant concerns within our community. This decision impacts all of us and requires thorough reflection, especially knowing that many students are already managing very tight budgets. For some, this increase could make continuing their education not only more stressful but also potentially impossible. The constant need to seek scholarships and financial aid can seriously affect our focus and academic success.
In response to this announced increase, our demand is clear: we want complete transparency regarding the allocation of the additional funds that this increase in tuition fees will generate. It is crucial for us, the students, to understand exactly where this money will be invested. What projects or improvements are planned? How will these funds directly benefit our educational environment and our services? We expect the administration to share detailed plans and material justifications for this increase, ensuring that the additional fees contribute to a tangible improvement in our academic experience.
More than ever, we need to feel that our leaders are protecting us and fighting for our interests. This involves a tangible commitment and concrete actions that demonstrate real support for students during these financially challenging times. We expect our schools to explore every possible avenue to minimize the impact of this increase and to support those who will suffer the consequences. Our leaders must take proactive steps to help us navigate these financial challenges without compromising our education.
We encourage all stakeholders to join this crucial discussion and collaborate to find solutions that meet the needs of our community. It is essential to work together to maintain the accessibility and quality of our education.
We are determined to closely follow this issue and continue our commitment to ensuring that education remains accessible to everyone.
