STP Ten-Year Review of Trends in B.C.'s Education Systems. Research Results from the Student Transitions Project
Student Transitions Project
The Student Transitions Project (STP) has reached a ten-year milestone: The STP has now collected student enrollment data from ten years of grade 12 graduation cohorts and ten years of post-secondary registrants, since the project's inception in 2003. The STP dataset continues to be an invaluable tool for tracking student transitions into post-secondary education and the mobility of students between post-secondary institutions. In addition, it provides a useful data source for summarizing B.C.'s grade 12 graduation cohorts and all B.C. public post-secondary registrations and credential completions. This newsletter offers a perfect opportunity to discuss some of the trends revealed in the STP data set. Figures 1 and 2 compare the ten-year rate of change along some of these dimensions. [The STP would like to thank the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology and the B.C. public post-secondary institutions for collaborating in this research effort.]
