“How to save money for your child’s future education” by Martina Wong
The Heritage Education Foundation will be exploring the concept of cumulative education cost in depth. In the Canadian education system, it is very important for parents to plan for their children’s education early and save money aside to avoid future surprises. Without the degree, diploma and any kind of certificate, the children will be at a disadvantage once they enter the workforce. Heritage will help you understand more about how RESP works, and provide assistance to ensure your children get their deserved education in the future.
