Doubtful! Based on some of the students I see come through Dal, they are barely teaching algebra, little less the logic skills require to provide a "proof".
Actually, joking aside, I find it hugely hit or miss depending on the school that they went to. It is shocking the disparity in the quality of education not just within NS but through the entire country. You can find excellent students coming from schools in places that you would least expect it, and piss poor students coming from school that nominally should be strong. Just as an example, the high school in Truro for the last while has been doing really really well at turning out students with a solid understanding of scientific method etc (largely due to the efforts of one teacher in particular), and yet there are other larger urban schools that are barely doing anything.
