Selected Indicators

This first table presents selected indicators taken from the CDB Annual Report for 1996. In a few cases data are not available for that year - figures with an asterisk * are from the preceding year's report and refer to one year earlier than the rest of the data. The final column shows each population as a percentage of the population of the NCCs and campus countries combined (omitting Guyana).

Table 2 comprises the final column of the above table and the column taken from the table of degrees awarded over the period 1952-93. This gives a fairly accurate picture of the distortions in the University's contribution to human resource development within the region.
