Carleton University’s Ted Jackson teaches a graduate seminar course on post-secondary education in Carleton’s School of Public Policy and Administration.
Earlier this month, I was invited to give a guest presentation to Professor Jackson’s class. I focused the presentation on affordability challenges faced by students wanting to pursue post-secondary education.
My slide presentation can be found here.

Interesting slides Nick. The Newfoundland example is quite compelling. Especially as it has been argued that relatively high enrollment rates in Quebec are artificial in that CEGEPs are counted as PSE while they (partly) serve an age group that goes to high school in Ontario.
