Advanced Education Minister Brian Wong said international students need to do 'due dilgence.' Students interviewed by Global News say they are, and they need support.
Recent comments by Nova Scotia’s advanced education minister are not sitting well with international students.
“I would always ask students and their families to do your due diligence to make sure wherever you’re going,” he said. But the international students say the provincial government should be doing more to help students find affordable places to live amid the housing crunch. “There’s no doubt there are recruiters out there that may be doing unscrupulous things and that is really unfortunate,” Wong said. “However, for example, Cape Breton University has been training their recruiters to ensure the proper and honest information is given to students.”Wong did not give any timeline for the rollout of the province’s student housing strategy, which was supposed to be released last spring.
