Navigating the Looming Enrollment Cliff
Higher education has been on an incredible growth trend for 80 years; however, this may be coming to an end thanks to a?demographic aftershock of the Great Recession.
In the last 15 years, uncertainty and unemployment led to a decrease in birth rates, and as a result, we’ve seen?declining post-secondary enrollment. Classes are expected to contract over the next two decades; a phenomenon that’s been dubbed the?“enrollment cliff".
One way schools are tackling the "cliff" is through increased international student enrollment, which has helped expand Canada’s student population since 2016. Despite this, Canada’s university, college, and registered apprenticeship enrollments represents only 7.5% of the country's population.
