School: Cent and Students

school: Many schools nevertheless have concerns about the U.S. political climate and fear that it could drive students away, according to Toronto Star. While 45 per cent of schools saw declines in international enrolment, nearly a third said their numbers have increased since last year, the survey found. The Institute of International Education reported Monday that the number of new students coming from abroad fell by an average of 7 per cent at nearly 500 colleges and universities surveyed this fall, but said the results from school to school are more mixed than many had feared. The remaining 24 per cent said they saw no change. Article Continued Below The White House's proposed travel bans and separate reports of violence against immigrants had fueled fears of a sharp decline in students coming from abroad. It's definitely a wake-up call, but by no means is it a crisis, and it does not come anywhere close to the precipitous decline and plummeting of numbers that the entire sector had been predicting, said Rajika Bhandari, head of research, policy and practice for the non-profit group based in New York.
