1. Comparisons between jurisdictions should be made with care. Factors that influence total spending per student on education, such as the size of the school-age population, need to be taken into account.
2. Nova Scotia data prior to 2005/2006 not comparable to more recent data due to change in methodology.
Note: Table A.17.2 = Table A.16 (Total expenditures) divided by Table A.2 (Full-time equivalent enrolment) divided by Table A.33 (Consumer Price Index).
