In comparison to other areas of the province, the Strait Region does
not have the same level of resources and support that is available to
adult learners in other regions of the province. For example, the Southwestern
Region which comprises four counties (Yarmouth, Shelburne, Lunenburg
and Queens) is serviced by two regional planning teams -- Yarmouth/Shelburne
and Lunenburg/Queens. Yarmouth/Shelburne combined has a lower population
(44,510 vs 59,565) as well as a lower unemployment rate (12.3% vs 20.4%).
While 51% of the population of this region do not have a high school
diploma, there is a Community College Campus in both Yarmouth and Shelburne
and an adult high school located in the town of Yarmouth. In the Lunenburg/Queens
region, both the population and percentage without a high school diploma
are comparable to that of the Strait Region and the unemployment rate at 10.4% is half
that of the Strait Region. The Lunenburg Campus of the Nova Scotia Community
College is located in Bridgewater and there is an adult high school in both Lunenburg
County and Queens County.
