The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) has released a report on how working-age adult Canadians view and experience postsecondary education, drawing on a national survey conducted by Abacus Data. The findings show that Canadians see PSE as essential to the country’s economic future and strongly support continued public investment in institutions and research. Postsecondary graduates reported lasting benefits such as stronger career opportunities, better mental health, and higher life satisfaction. However, the report also identifies barriers including affordability and high student debt, which CASA argues must be addressed to strengthen the system’s long-term value.
