e estimate

1. Full-time equivalent enrolment (from Table C.2.1) divided by full-time equivalent educators (from Table C.2.2).
2. In Saskatchewan, full-time equivalent educators figures include "historic high schools", but full-time equivalent enrolments figures do not.
3. Alberta data prior to 2004/2005 may not be fully comparable with more recent data due to changes in data capture systems.

Notes: Due to the nature of Elementary-Secondary Education Statistics Project (ESESP) data collection, these data are updated on an ongoing basis and are therefore subject to further revisions. These data are for public schools only and do not include private schools and federal schools.
