Funding Cuts GREAT For Loyalist!
Funding Cuts GREAT For Loyalist!Think about it? The Federal government is cutting about $17 million in funding to its public ESL training programs in B.C.
That's about 9,000 students and hundreds of skilled labour (i.e. teachers) that need to find a new home. What better place than Loyalist?
Also... Citizenship and Immigration Canada says federal ESL programs for new British Columbians will continue despoite the provincial government's concerns about funding changes. So business as usual for international students. If anything it will encourage more foreign students to apply for grants from their own countries, and/or different grants from our federal government that don't fund ESL for community college, but rather are more liberal on where the money gets spent.
Least to say that this annoucement can only be good for Loyalist.
P.S. Red clearly doesn't understand LOY's business model. If he did he would see the significant upside that the federal annoucement gives the company.
