Fewer students from the Maritimes are choosing to stick around and study on the east coast.
That's
according to a new report by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education
Commission which says over the last ten years the number of Maritimers
enrolled in the region's universities decreased by 12-percent while the
number of Canadians from outside the Maritimes increased by 28-percent
and the number of international students doubled.
Commission
C-E-O Mireille Duguay says Maritime Universities are maintaining their
numbers by attracting more students from outside the Maritimes.
