Increasing Numbers of Enrollments and Graduates

By Steve Chisholm May 28, 2018 | 10:35 AM

The Ministry of Advanced Education says the number of credentials awarded by the province’s two universities and Saskatchewan Polytechnic has increased by 1.6 per cent annually for the past five years. Last year, over 11 thousand were awarded. The post-secondary institutions are collaborating on an Education Indicators Project which looks at sector-wide data. The first stream of data shows nearly 54 hundred First Nations, Metis, and Inuit students enrolled in credentialed programs in 2017. That’s a 26 per cent increase from 2013. International student enrollment topped 5,000 last year, growing by more than 29 per cent between 2013 and 2017.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
