Between 2004 and 2008, 5,400 Manitoba and New Brunswick students in 51 high schools were part of the Future to Discover (FTD) project, a longtitudinal study funded by the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation.
The main outcomes of interest included graduation from high school, application for and enrollment in different types of post-secondary education for the different education systems and population sub-groups. Many interim impacts of the interventions were also of interest, such as on students’ course choices and achievement while in high school. These are available in a separate working paper based on school records data.
Through rigorous evaluation, Future to Discover is providing much-needed knowledge to inform the selection of programs that deliver the most benefit to Canada’s economy and support all youth in having the opportunity to achieve their potential.
