Humber president says polytechnic education could solve national productivity challenges

In a recent opinion piece for The Hill Times, Humber Polytechnic President Ann Marie Vaughan argues that the polytechnic education model is the solution for the national productivity emergency. Vaughan discusses the strengths of the polytechnic model and points to other countries—Finland, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands—that have drawn on the polytechnic education model to strengthen their economy. “Productivity growth does not happen by accident,” concludes Vaughan. “It is built—deliberately—by institutions empowered to serve the national economy.”
