Increase in Student Services. I think the increase is from
more schools recognizing the importance of school services.
These are schools that before had a token counselor, and are
increasing the size of their counseling department. This
increased need is largely in the form of college advising.

Historically, students went to a local university after high
school for their bachelors, and the to the West (UK, USA, etc)
for their Masters (MBA). What were seeing is a significant
increase in students wanting to go abroad for their bachelors.

Its easier to think of the increase in school counselors less
in the traditional mental health model, and more as a career
advisor/life coach approach.
