Education and Healthcare
The archipelago has no institutions of higher education (beyond the high school level), therefore students who wish to further their studies after high school are granted access to scholarships to study overseas. Many students go to France, although some go to Canada (mainly in Quebec and New Brunswick), and the United States.
Saint-Pierre and Miquelon's health care system is almost entirely public and free. In 1994, France and Canada signed an agreement allowing the residents of the archipelago to be treated in St. John's, Newfoundland. Hôpital François Dunan provides basic care and emergency care for residents of both islands.
