We all know that persuading 6th formers to apply for science courses, especially pure science courses at University is a bit of an uphill struggle at the minute, and Universities across the country are watching their application figures carefully. But does anyone know whether this is also the case in the USA and Canada, and could point me to any web sites or papers about the problem (if there is a problem) over there?
