Quebec's tuition a double-edged sword

Published: 24 April 2008

Konrad Yakabuski in the Quebec Report of the Globe's Report on Business, looks at Quebec's low tuition as being a double-edged sword, for ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ in particular: "...ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ isn't just an oasis for Oscar Wilde wannabes or phenomenologists who go gaga over Merleau-Ponty. It's an economic powerhouse - probably worth as much to Montreal as the head office of a couple of dozen Alcans. ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, however, is in Quebec. It's stuck, therefore, with the lowest tuition fees in Canada. And it must grapple with the constant tension that arises from its presence as an English-language institution in a province that made a mission four decades ago of ensuring that the francophone majority became as well educated as the anglo minority."
