Post-secondary funding leads throne speech

"EDMONTON – The Conservative government kicked off the first legislative session of Alberta's 100th year with a promise to invest $3 billion in an endowment fund for post-secondary education.

The money, funded by future budget surpluses, will help pay for a Chinese studies program at the University of Alberta, a province-wide digital library and new scholarships.

Premier Ralph Klein had earlier promised to pay for any tuition increases universities and colleges put in place this year, essentially freezing fees for students."
