The right direction as in increasing the funding for education institurions, which they have been starving for years with significant effects in those orgs. Right direction as in slowing the destruction of the system. Of course the way they did it was to fuck students - a shit solution. With that said, this is the better solution than slowly killing these institutions while keeping tuition low. Reason being that the students and their parents who are the bulk of the affected voters see lower prices while the degradation of the institutions isn't as obvious. This can go on for a long time hiding the damage. If however students and their parents see the higher prices, they may vote for a premier who runs on free tuition instead of Ford. We actually had a means-tested free tuition in Ontario for a little bit.
