B.C. chops adult basic education fees

UCFV could lose about $300,000 in revenue due to the elimination of tuition fees for all adult basic education courses announced this month by the B.C. government.

But a spokesperson for the advanced education ministry said the government will make up the lost revenue.

The ministry is adding almost $7-million to its $57-million budget for adult basic education courses that were designed for adult students who have not completed Grade 12 and want to attend post-secondary institutions or to improve job opportunities.
