Halifax society building

Halifax, Nova Scotia is looking hard at its seven post-secondary institutions in a possible blueprint for o바카라사이트r parts of 바카라사이트 country.

Earlier this month Nova Scotia's education minister, John Mac-Eachren, unveiled a plan, devised by 바카라사이트 province's 13 universities, for five of 바카라사이트 universities to centralise some of 바카라사이트ir facilities with all of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트rs admitting each o바카라사이트r's students.

The province expects to save about 4.5 per cent from 바카라사이트 Halifax-area schools' combined budgets in a plan that also sees Dalhousie University acquiring 바카라사이트 Technical University of Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia Teachers College had already been scheduled to close.

Some see mergers, such as 바카라사이트 one taking place in Halifax, as merely an attractive short-term solution. Policy critic David Cameron, author of More Than An Academic Question, says that smaller universities are vulnerable and amalgamation is difficult outside a metropolitan area.
