  • Macro And Sociological Factors In Pursuing Post-Secondary Education

    661 Words  | 2 Pages

    Post-Secondary education can be a very important aspect to an individual’s life. Pursuing post-secondary education and obtaining a university degree opens up a wide range of high-paying career opportunities. However, there has recently been an increase in the number of students who do not finish their program and graduate. If a university degree gives us more job opportunities and a better salary, why are students leaving their universities and not finishing their degrees? There are many macro and micro sociological factors that students deal with every day. Macro sociological factors are events or predicaments that the individual has no control over (Steckley, 2014). Micro sociological factors are events that an individual does have control over (Steckley, 2014). The students who are leaving without finishing their degrees are faced with many social and economic problems that require their attention and have priority over school.

With an increasingly diverse student population, Canada has seen an increase in the number of immigrants, reaching 21.9% of Canadians in 2016 (Statistics Canada, 2017).

However, there are very few studies concerning the challenges and learning needs of immigrant students during their postsecondary education in Canada. Quinn
