High Tuition Fees - Barrier to Education

The Youth in Transition Survey shows that he most common barrier for dropping out or leaving school was financial – about two-thirds of those reporting facing barriers to going as far in school as they would like cited financial barriers.

The percentages citing financial barriers were similar for post-secondary leavers (71.4%), high school graduates with no post secondary education (70.7%), post-secondary graduates (70.4%), and post-secondary continuers (68.9%).
