International Students in BC's Education Systems: Summary of Research from the Student Transitions Project
Heslop, Joanne
Student Transitions Project
This report highlights key research findings from a recent analysis of international students studying in the B.C. secondary and post-secondary education systems. The study was conducted by the Student Transitions Project (STP), a collaborative research partnership involving B.C.'s education and advanced education ministries and post-secondary institutions. In light of the continued importance of international students in British Columbia, the STP undertook this study to provide an update on the education pathways and achievements of international students studying in the B.C. secondary and postsecondary systems. The study updates a similar study conducted in 2014, but with more recent STP 2017 data, to address a number of research questions about the programs, pathways and education outcomes of international students who enrolled in B.C.'s secondary or public postsecondary system. [For the 2014 version of this report, see ED583051.]
