Report Shows High University Participation

A new report shows universities in the Maritime region are attracting high numbers of students from both within and outside the Maritimes. The Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission says overall participation in Maritime universities has more than doubled to 34 per cent during the past 25 years. That's eight points greater than the national average.

28 per cent of people in this province attended university--compared to 39 per cent in Nova Scotia and 25 per cent in Prince Edward Island.
