Statcan Says Post-Secondary School Enrolments Are Climbing

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 30 Nov, 2015 11:00 AM
    OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country's post-secondary institutions saw more people both enrolling and graduating during the 2013-14 school year.
     
    The federal agency says enrolments climbed 1.2 per cent over 2012 levels as more than two million students began classes at a public college or university.
     
    Statcan says about 10 per cent of those students came from abroad as international enrolments maintained a long-standing upward trend by rising 2.5 per cent from the year before.
     
    Business, humanities and law programs accounted for nearly half of all post-secondary enrolments.
     
    Statcan says the number of people graduating from a college or university program also rose four per cent to just under 499,000.
     
    The agency says women represented 58 per cent of graduates and 56 per cent of total enrolments, maintaining levels established in 2012.
