| [en] This paper examines the coordination of post-secondary education systems by
provincial governments in British Columbia and Ontario as an area of “pure” provincial policy-making. The argument is developed in two broad stages. First, developments in the 1960s are examined as representing a “critical juncture” in which differing system architectures are shown to have taken shape in response to similar demographic pressures for a major expansion of post-secondary provision. Second, later attempts at reform are examined, demonstrating in both cases the relatively “sticky” character of the institutional settlements established in the 1960s. An interlocking pattern of institutional and intra-provincial local/regional resistance has created strong path dependent logics of development in both provinces. The paper concludes with a discussion of recent reform efforts in Ontario, potentially marking a new “critical juncture” in contrast to a relative quiescence in the case of BC. | |
