Research Agenda
Summary of Proposed Research
The
proposed study will examine native and immigrant youths’ access to and
participation in post-secondary education in Toronto by linking
administrative and educational data from the Toronto District School
Board (TDSB) to administrative data from the Ontario Universities’
Applications Centre (OUAC) and the Ontario College Application Service
(OCAS). The resulting data set will allow us to track the progress of
youth from high school to application/ acceptance by universities
and/or community colleges... [more]
