Canadian PSE Funding Is Weirder Than You Think

I’ve been playing around with funding data and discovered something a bit mind-altering. It has to do with Ontario and how different it is from the rest of the country when it comes to post-secondary funding. More...

Servant Universities

A couple of days ago I discussed the choice Canadian institutions had between pursuing an international student market and serving local communities. I am sure this remark will have been denounced as a false choice by many – and to be fair, it isn’t a perfect binary – so I thought I would expand on that thought. More...

Know Your Incoming Students (2019 edition)

It’s the start of the school year and that’s the best time to examine trends among incoming students. Fortunately for us, this is one of those subjects where Canada has decent public data on the subject, as the Canadian University Survey Consortium (CUSC) has been asking a (mostly) consistent set of questions to first-year students on a triennial basis since 2001. More...

Sleepwalking towards Sydney

Morning all. Our annual State of Postsecondary Education in Canada piece is now available on our website. It updates the data from last year, plus adds a little bit of extra contextual data on the student body and international comparisons. But more than anything else, it shines a light on one key theme: the changing finances of Canadian universities and colleges; and the consequence of the prolonged freeze in government transfers to institutions.

Getting Caught Up

Morning all. How was the summer? Mine was pretty good and included a whistle-stop tour of the top SEC schools (short version: Ole Miss in Oxford, MS is a treasure, U Alabama in Tuscaloosa is soulless and somewhat terrifying but if for some reason you find yourself there, eat at Dreamland BBQ).

Could AI help universities spot student success or failure earlier?

As the new academic year begins, universities across the country will be putting strategies in place to help reduce the 7.6% of full-time, first degree entrants at English higher education institutions who are no longer studying their courses the following year. Disadvantaged students are 3 percentage points more likely to drop out than their more advantaged peers. More...

“Income-Driven” Loan Repayment? Maybe We Should Just Raise Taxes

Income-driven or income-contingent student loans and their policy cousins have become popular financing mechanisms for higher education in English-speaking countries over the last few decades. Australia led the way starting in 1989 by essentially building student loan repayment into its tax system. If you take advantage of the government’s offer to pay your tuition, then you agree to pay a higher tax rate after you finish. More...

UCAS responds to our recent report on contextual admissions

UCAS has been providing school and area-level contextual data (e.g. POLAR3) to universities for over a decade. So we were delighted to see students’ views expressed in the recent HEPI Report mirror those of our own survey data, which have shown that many students agree that individual circumstances should be taken into account during the admissions process.

The Case Against Education: Why the education system is a waste of time and money

From the very start, and repeatedly in the first few pages, the author claims the book is a strong polemic, but one which is rooted in much evidence. Having read the book, I would suggest you read it if you are interested in the origins of a particular set of arguments; and why a small group of people make them, and may carry on making such arguments.
