Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Continue to invest in both Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the College of the North Atlantic, while ensuring financial responsibility and sustainability

    "Our Liberal Team will also continue to invest in both Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the College of the North Atlantic, while ensuring that they remain financially responsible and sustainable." — Our Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-10-08

PC

  • Disallow Memorial University from expanding or increasing tuition until it cuts administrative staff and resolves outstanding critical maintenance

    "Require Memorial University to be fiscally responsible with the funding it receives. We will not allow MUN to balance its books on the backs of students. We will not allow MUN to expand its footprint or increase tuition until it ends administrative bloat, resolves outstanding critical maintenance, and returns its focus to students." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Match the College of the North Atlantic's offerings with labour market needs in NL's regions

    "Break down barriers to education by ensuring post-secondary programming is available to students of all regions of the province in a manner that is cost effective. This will be done utilizing distance education and by matching the offerings of the College of the North Atlantic with labour market needs in the regions." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Use distance education to provide post-secondary education in all regions of the province

  • Forecast future labour shortages and adjust class sizes in advance to prioritise labour market needs

    "Align new post-secondary offerings with future labour market needs. We will forecast future labour shortages and adjust class sizes in advance of these shortages to respond more expeditiously to changing labour market needs." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08
