These averages are from Education at a Glance 2010: OECD Indicators, Table A3.1, Graduation rates in tertiary education and age distribution of new graduates at tertiary-type A level (2008) and Table A3.3, Graduation rates at different tertiary levels, impact of international/foreign students (2008), which present the most recent available data for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's 31 member countries. Please see the OECD's Web site at www.oecd.org. 2. The most recent data available for Canada's jurisdictions are for 2006 (ISCED 5B) and 2007 (ISCED 5A and 6). 3. The University of Regina, in Saskatchewan, has not reported its graduates to PSIS since 2005-2006, which, of course, affects the ISCED 5A and 6 graduation rates for Saskatchewan. Notes: The methodology used to produce numbers for Canada and the provinces / territories may differ from that used in a particular province/territory; as a result, the numbers in this table may differ from those published by the provinces/territories.
