How Canada Performs 2009: A Report Card on Canada It is my pleasure to provide you with the first of four reports I will be sending to the members of our community this year. I invite you to take a look at the environmental scan I presented at the February 2 meeting of our Board of Governors at the following link: http://www.uwaterloo.ca/document ... anNewBackground.ppt How Canada Performs 2009: A Report Card on Canada This annual report card by the Conference Board of Canada shows areas where Canada has improved, and areas where there still is room for improvement. In the “Education and Skills” category, Canada has been given an “A” grade, up from a “B” last year. Canada is second only to Finland in the peer group of 17 countries. The Conference Board of Canada cites our nation’s efforts since 2007 to graduate more students in the science, engineering, and computer science and mathematics disciplines as bringing about our grade increase. Unfortunately, we are being held back from the top spot in this important category by our dismal PhD production rates, where we are 17th out of 17 peer countries. Sweden, for example, produces three times as many PhDs as we do on a per capita basis. Also troubling is the Conference Board’s assertion that as many as 7 million adult Canadians lack the basic literacy skills necessary to participate in the knowledge economy. Additionally, Canada has been unable to improve its ranking in the all-important “Innovation” category, where we rank 13th out of 17 peer countries and are still considered a “below average performer.” These mixed results show the need for an increased commitment to graduate education and a national innovation strategy, and as an institution dedicated to the notion of lifelong learning and innovation, we should be mindful of opportunities to help Canada close the gap with our peers. That is one of the foundations of our Sixth Decade Plan. http://d.namipan.com/d/489166860e35bcac5dca8807300032058047ddc000061b00 [ Last edited by ryxtony on 2010-3-4 at 01:39 ] |
