Under the present economic context, the Alberta government is not investing in postsecondary education. Francophones should understand that there is no money. <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In addition to the funds allocated towards operating funding for postsecondary institutions, the Government of Alberta invested $98 million in postsecondary education in 2020. The Campus Saint-Jean did not receive any share of this additional funding.<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Although operating grants for postsecondary institutions saw cuts in 2019 and 2020, the government invested $5.5 billion in 2019 and $5.1 billion in 2020 towards postsecondary education operating funds. In its budget, the Government of Alberta also allocated $463 million in 2019 and $288 million in 2020 to postsecondary institutions for captial projects already underway. An additional investment of $98 million for new post-secondary infrastructure projects was announced in summer 2020 as part of Alberta\u2019s Recovery Plan, in response to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Despite the announcement of these new funds, the Campus Saint-Jean is still awaiting an infrastructure investment from the provincial government to match the $3.7 million allocated in the 2019-2020 federal government budget. Without an investment from the province, the Campus Saint-Jean cannot receive the federal government\u2019s funds.<\/p>\n

In the 1976 Oblates agreement<\/a>, the province made a funding commitment to continue operating, maintaining, improving and expanding the Campus Saint-Jean\u2019 programs and infrastructure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sources :
