The Millennium Research Program of the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation was launched in 2001 to assist the Foundation in carrying out its mandate to improve access to post-secondary education in Canada and provide students with the educational opportunities they need to prepare themselves for the future. The Research Program advances the study of barriers to post-secondary education and the impact of policies and programs designed to alleviate them. It ensures that policy-making and public discussion about opportunities in higher education in Canada can be informed by rigorous analysis and empirical evidence. Over the years the millennium research program, through its numerous publications, has contributed to the discussion on the issue of access to post-secondary education. The most notable of these publications is the Price of Knowledge. It provides analysis of key trends and new data relating to access to post-secondary education, student finances and financial assistance programs. The third and most recent edition was published in 2007. ==Objectives== The principal objectives of the Program are: *To increase understanding of the key barriers to access to and participation in post-secondary education and of the relative effectiveness of policies that might alleviate them *To provide the data and analysis necessary to monitor the impact of the Foundation’s bursaries and awards (including their interaction with other forms of student financial assistance) and to guide the development of new programs *To act as a catalyst to research on post-secondary education opportunities within the wider research and policy communities by disseminating the results of studies, convening research conferences, facilitating the creation of new data sources, promoting the development of innovative research methodologies, and creating new research partnerships *To raise awareness among citizens and policy-makers of issues relating to post-secondary education opportunities and of the implications for public policy of the latest research on student financial aid and access to post-secondary education. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millennium Research Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
