This document is an integrated report of the findings of a three-phase research program undertaken by the Angus Reid Group. This program involved secondary data analysis of existing statistical information provided by the MPHEC, qualitative research through focus groups with students at all levels of the education system, and a quantitative telephone survey of the 1997 graduating high school class in all three Maritime provinces. This report provides an overview of the key findings, pulling together the main trends and analyses, and outlines some of the implications for directions that post-secondary education might take in the Maritime provinces. More detailed results of each of the three phases are in the reports prepared separately for the secondary data analysis, the focus groups, and the quantitative survey.

How can each nation and each institution achieve the right balance between quality and quantity, access and equity, need-based and merit-based aid, government funding and private endowments? In these nine chapters, case studies discuss the different approaches being taken and the varying results produced. This handbook on the finance of higher education is essential reading for college administrators, policy-makers and graduate programs in higher education administration.
