Canadian university presidents want more of their students go abroad to study or to conduct research, reports The Globe and Mail. Canadian universities have hundreds of study-abroad programs, but there is a concern that most students are failing to take advantage of the opportunities. A survey released last year showed that more than a quarter of university students were considering studying abroad, saying that the experience could be an advantage in the job market. Canadian community colleges are also expanding their study- and work-abroad programs after a survey showed only a little more than 1 percent of college students went overseas.
