Higher Education in Canada

Paper Summary:

The paper is creative, arguing that per capita funding for higher education in Canada should be reduced till institutions can indicate what their higher operating costs actually involve. The paper contends that at no time have Canadian institutions followed European examples in universities without tuition fees to encourage diverse enrolments. The paper explains that all problems in academics are blamed on 'funding' and yet salary scales remain high and overheads are unjustified. The paper includes a varied bibliography.

From the Paper:

"The high cost of higher education in Canada continues to be lamented, at the same time as governments indicate the need for more Canadians to pursue post-secondary education of different kinds. This is often presented in relation to a Canadian labour force that needs to be more `competitive' within a `globalized' economy, although Canada imports labour to perform tasks that Canadians will not do (Basok, 2003). Another anomaly is one of encouraging foreign physicians' immigration to a land with a shortage of doctors, and then refusing to allow them to practise, or enabling them to prepare for the Canadian profession."
