The post-secondary education bubble

6 Feb 2012

"More and more students, parents, unions, and politicians are talking about rising tuition rates and the debt that many incur from pursuing a post-secondary education. There is no doubt that costs are going up, and debt is accumulating at an uncomfortable rate for many students. However, few have been calling into question the value of post-secondary education. ... Post-secondary education is most certainly a privilege, one that should certainly not be watered-down with lack of choice and quality, and one that should deliver a clear net benefit, not a cost, for both the individual and for society."
