The World's Campus

Canada is a leader in attracting international students. That's changing the country - for better and for worse

Doug Ronson

Rate this:
The World’s Campus is an eye-opening account of how Canadians built a $22-billion international education industry, now even bigger than the country’s mighty lumber sector. It’s also the worrying tale of how colleges and universities have become addicted to the huge revenues provided by international student tuition to keep professors paid and buildings heated. By failing to fund our post-secondary institutions properly, we are putting their very existence at risk. Doug Ronson, an experienced writer and international educator, gets to the heart of the issue in this well-documented and unsettling study, interviewing experts and providing thought-provoking analysis. He tells the heartbreaking stories of international students whose expectations of a prestigious Canadian education and hopes of permanent residency status are sometimes dashed.
