Notes: [ ] Data included in column of the table whose number is shown in the squared brackets.
Comparisons between the provinces and territories must be made with caution. Certain differences in the cost per student figures by province/territory at the secondary level are attributable to whether or not registrations for adult education programs are included in enrolments in some provinces/territories.
In Quebec, vocational training and general education for adults are included at the secondary level.
Due to changes in the fiscal year, financial data for Quebec universities that were reported to Statistics Canada were for 11 months. The financial data have thus been estimated for 12 months by the Quebec ministry.
In previous years, this indicator included data from the Census long form. This year it includes data from the National Household Survey. When comparing estimates from the 2006 Census long form and estimates from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) users should take into account the fact that the two sources represent different populations. The target population for the 2006 Census long form includes usual residents in collective dwellings and persons living abroad whereas the target population for the NHS excludes them. Moreover, the NHS estimates are derived from a voluntary survey and are therefore subject to potentially higher non response error than those derived from the 2006 Census long form.
