Abstract

Existing ways of gathering information required to manage Canadian postsecondary educational institutions and systems are not adequate. A carefully planned national information system for higher education is needed to provide decision-makers and policy formulators in institutions and in provincial authorities with management information. The proposed system will require up to five years to implement, but it will not be expensive in comparison to huge present and projected expenditures that it could make more effective. The proposed national system is described by the information it would provide, an illustration of the type of data collected, and the steps necessary for its design, development, implementation, and maintenance.
