“TF money go before, all ways do lie open.” — Shakespeare,
That includes education if you are a foreign student.
For $12,000 per year both the North Vancouver and
West Vancouver schoul districts will offer you (he finest
education they have to offer, Bul it’s the quality of that
education critics say suffers because of already
unwieldy class sizes and teachers who ure stretched to
their limit. However, foreign students are a windfall fo
school boards, especially to cash-strapped North

Jancouver, burdened by a debt of over $5 million. The

money garnered from attracting foreign students to the North Shore can be pul

I agree with it, actually. {t's a
