Download or read book Preparing for Post Secondary Education written by Paul Anisef and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005-09-26 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Canadian parents have had to assume a larger share of the financial costs of their children's post-secondary education because of declining government funding and changing loans and bursary programs. Preparing for Post-Secondary Education considers the impact of increased private support and the planning strategies parents use based on information from a 1999 Statistics Canada national survey of 34,000 households. The contributors begin by examining changes to national and international educational funding policies and the relationship between public and private costs. They focus on the role of families in marshaling the necessary resources, demonstrating that access to post-secondary education is also determined by social capital. The authors conclude that new partnerships between parents, the state, and schools are redefining the various players' roles and commitments to the educational futures of Canadian children. Contributors include the late Stephen Bell (York University), Scott Davies (McMaster University), Ross Finnie (Queen's University), George Frempong (York University), Dianne Looker (Acadia University), Nancy Mandell (York University), Sheila Marshall (University of British Columbia), Hans Schuetze (University of British Columbia), Victor Thiessen (Dalhousie University), Jim White (University of British Columbia), and Jamie Wood (University of British Columbia).

Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the private career college sector in British Columbia, which has sometimes attracted controversy. Some institutions have been perceived as providing high quality education and as good corporate citizens, while a few have been seen as rogue operators that tarnish the reputation of the entire sector. The circumstances under which students receive government financial aid, and the causes of high default rates, have periodically prompted articles in the popular press. In the past two decades, debate has occurred as to the need for various types of regulation for English as a Second Language schools and the protection of British Columbia's reputation in the international education market.

Download or read book Canada s Community Colleges written by John D. Dennison and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges evolved in Canada during the "golden years" of educational innovation between 1960 and 1975. A diversity of factors - historical, socio-economic, political and educational - contributed to the development of college systems with distinctive goals and structures. This book is the first up-to-date and comprehensive study of a potent national educational and social phenomenon, largely unknown and largely unappreciated. The authors describe provincial and territorial college systems as they have evolved to 1985, discussing problems particular to each system and evaluating the extent to which often idealistic early goals have been realized. They identify key issues which are critical to the future of these systems and which, if ignored, will undermine community college education across Canada. These include accessibility, identity, relations with governments, management and leadership, and evaluation and accountability. In each case the authors draw upon their own expertise and experience to describe directions for resolution of these issues. The book contains a comprehensive and topical bibliography of both published and unpublished material related to many aspects of Canadian community college development. It also includes a French language bibliography. Unique in many aspects, this book is designed to interest both graduate and undergraduate students in adult and higher education and administration as well as those directly involved in community colleges, government education ministries and a broad lay public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Where Did They Go?" study, co-funded by the BC Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) and the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL), was designed to complement research undertaken under the auspices of the Student Transitions Project (STP) which has tracked the public post-secondary participation of BC high school graduates from 2002/03 to the present. The co-funders were interested in better understanding (a) other post-secondary destinations outside of the BC public system, and (b) the intentions of high school students who have "not continued" on to post-secondary education after graduation from high school. Forty-two percent of British Columbia's 2005/06 high school graduation cohort had not registered at a public post-secondary institution by the end of the fall term of 2007. Of these, 2,018 were surveyed in March 2008 by R.A. Malatest and Associates Ltd. in order to learn more about these graduates. This was done under contract with the Ministry of Education which provided Malatest with the graduate data necessary to conduct a random sample. The survey was modelled on one developed by the Fraser Region Consortium (FRC) with their permission. That study examined the further education destinations, intentions, and attitudes of 2003/04 BC high school graduates from the Fraser Region of the province who did not transition to public post-secondary education in BC by the following year (Heslop, 2006). A small subcommittee guiding the "Where Did They Go?" study made modifications to the original survey instrument (see Appendix F), which was then implemented across the province with a sampling strategy based on six regions. This report describes the survey methodology, the sample, and key research findings. When interpreting the results, the reader should be aware that the provincial level findings are statistically significant; however, those at the regional level are not. A number of appendices augment information in the body of the report. Appended are: (1) Overview of Results; (2) Detailed Tables by Post-Secondary Status; (3) Detailed Tables by Region; (4) Occupational Categories of Positions Held by Employed Respondents; (5) References; and (6) Malatest Methodology Report and Survey Instrument. (Contains 31 figures and 33 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents an investigation of two issues: the real and perceived barriers that reduce opportunities for British Columbia secondary school students to make the transition to post-secondary education and training; and what can be done to address those barriers and the variations in transition rates among schools. Begins with a review of the education system context and of high school completion patterns and trends, including trends for special groups such as Aboriginal and disabled students. This is followed by discussion of barriers to post-secondary transition such as information availability, financial support, personal issues and support, and issues related to post-secondary programs. Conclude with short- and long-term recommendations for improvement. The appendix reviews government initiatives in education and the student assistance program. Includes glossary.
Download or read book Student Affairs written by Lesley Andres and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2005-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has access to higher education today? At what financial and personal cost? Based on what conditions and criteria? How do students describe and interpret their experiences? And how can institutions facilitate and constrain successful participation and completion? These research studies extend current understandings of what it is to be a student in higher education by embracing the dynamic relationship between students as agents and institutions as living structures which impact on their lives. Focusing on the diverse experiences of today's non-traditional and traditional students, researchers explore how and why institutional rhetoric of inclusion, engagement, gender, and access may or may not be reflected in the reality of students' experiences. Student Affairs moves from theory to application by suggesting realistic strategies for addressing the challenges surrounding the interrelation of students and institutions. Each essay analyzes issues of access and participation in programs ranging from community college development studies to graduate studies. As a whole, this collection is a testament to how much institutional change has occurred in the social organization of postsecondary education, and how much more change is required to meet the challenge of equitable access and inclusion.
