| We live, learn and work in a society that has been transformed by the rapid speed of global change. Economic, environmental and demographic changes impact on who we are, where we live and most of all, how and what we learn. Through the Department of Education, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is committed to building partnerships with nations and cultures around the world. Newfoundland and Labrador's education system is second to none. We also offer an excellent quality of life including one of the lowest crime rates in North America, affordable housing, and a unique, friendly culture. These aspects combine to provide a favourable environment where international students can achieve their academic and professional goals and are warmly welcomed into the community. Cultural and academic ties, which build on the province's economic and social links with other countries, are strengthening the business relationships we have with our trading partners. In addition, our students, faculty and staff gain the international knowledge necessary to live and work in the global economy through participation in international education programs. The increasing number of international students in our classrooms enhances the educational experience of all students and impacts on economic development in our communities. Through the Department of Education, international students may study towards completion of their high school diploma. Memorial University and the College of the North Atlantic, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education, also offer enriching exchanges to students in other countries. | |
