CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
Campaign 1 of 3
Campaign category: Access to Education
Cuts Suck. Fix Education.
Tuition prices suck. Cancelled courses suck. Staff layoffs suck. Reduced services suck. Students are paying more and getting less.
Campaign category: Equity
Equity for All
Equity for All raises awareness about everyday and institutional discrimination on and off campus. It gives students practical ways to learn, support one another and challenge barriers to access, safety and belonging.
Campaign category: affordability
Open Textbooks Now
High textbook costs are an obstacle for many students. Open educational resources (OER) offer free or low-cost alternatives to expensive commercial textbooks. The campaign encourages more instructors, institutions and governments to adopt and invest in resources students can access for free.
WHAT STUDENTS ARE WORKING TOWARDs
The BC Federation of Students and its members advocate for a post-secondary system that is affordable, accessible, high quality, and publicly funded.
The Federation advocates for strong public investment in post-secondary education and for a high quality learning environment.

High quality and publicly funded
