4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Quarterly - Statement 10 (I, II)

1. Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Scheduled services - operating statistics

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Sector of operation

Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns - domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

Domestic

Includes operations between points in Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US)

Includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

Other international

Includes all other operations (including between points outside of Canada).

Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

Fixed wing

Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight - that is non-rotating wings.

Helicopter

Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

Scheduled services

Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengers¹ who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

¹ Revenue passengers correspond to passengers for which an air carrier receives remuneration and who are travelling with tickets purchased (a) under a publicly available promotional offer; (b) through a loyalty program or through the redemption of loyalty points or miles; (c) with a corporate discount or at a preferential fare; or obtained (d) as compensation for denied boarding. It excludes (a) passengers travelling for free, at a fare available only to persons who are employees or agents of an air carrier or are travelling on the business of an air carrier; and (b) persons, such as infants, who do not occupy seats.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

• Flight stage A to B
• Number of passengers = 5
• Distance between points ( km ) = 161
• Passenger-kilometres = 805

• Flight stage B to C
• Number of passengers = 4
• Distance between points ( km ) = 322
• Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered. Seats not actually available for the carriage of passengers should be excluded.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

• Flight stage A to B
• Tonnes of goods = 5
• Distance between points ( km ) = 161
• Goods tonne-kilometres = 805

• Flight stage B to C
• Tonnes of goods = 4
• Distance between points ( km ) = 322
• Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available tonne-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the usable weight capacity of the aircraft. This represents the load carrying capacity offered for passengers and/or goods.

Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Definitions

What are Capital Expenditures?

Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Gross expenditures are expenditures before deducting proceeds from disposals, and credits (capital grants, donations, government assistance and investment tax credits).

Fixed assets are also known as capital assets or property, plant and equipment. They are items with a useful life of more than one year and are not purchased for resale but rather for use in the entity's production of goods and services.

Examples are buildings, vehicles, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, machinery, and computer software.

Include:

• Cost of all buildings, engineering structures, machinery and equipment which normally have a life of more than one year and are charged to fixed asset accounts
• Modifications and major renovations
• Capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
• Subsidies used to fund capital expenditures
• Capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
• Work done by own labour force
• Additions to capital work in progress

How to Treat Leases

Include:

• assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease;
• assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.

Exclude:

• business acquisitions
• transfers and write-offs
• assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

Operating lease

The lessor bears the risk of ownership and retains a significant "residual" economic interest in the leased property. The lessee has the right to temporary use of the property, for a term shorter than the economic life of the property, in exchange for regular payments. At the end of the lease, the lessee has the option of purchasing the property at fair market value.

Capital or financial lease

These leases are similar in that the lessor in effect finances the "purchase" of the leased property by the lessee and retains a security interest in the leased property. The lessee retains the leased property for substantially all of its economic life.

Industry characteristics

New Assets: Report capital expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy.

Renovation, Retrofit, Refurbishing, Overhauling and Restoration: Report capital expenditures for existing assets being upgraded, renovated, retrofitted, refurbished, overhauled or restored.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years, or the expected useful life of the asset with the largest value.

Land: Capital expenditures for land should include all costs associated with the purchase of the land that are not amortized or depreciated. Improvements of land should be reported in Non-Residential Construction.

Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for residential structures (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees).

• Include the housing portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites.
• Exclude buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizens residences) and associated expenditures on services.

Non-Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for non-residential building and engineering construction (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Construction structures should be classified to an asset according to its principal use unless it is a multi-purpose structure where we would like you to separate the components. The cost of any machinery and equipment which is an integral or built-in feature of the structure (i.e. elevators, heating equipment, sprinkler systems, environmental controls, intercom systems, etc.) should be reported as part of that structure as well as landscaping, associated parking lots, etc.

Include:

• Manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, shopping centres, etc.;
• Roads, bridges, sewers, electric power lines, underground cables, etc.;
• The cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and site preparation;
• Leasehold and land improvements.
• Additions to work in progress;
• Townsite facilities such as streets, sewers, stores and schools;
• Buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizen residences) and associated expenditures on services;
• All preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.

Machinery and Equipment

Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for machinery and equipment, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Machinery and equipment are generally housed in structures and can be removed or replaced without significantly altering the structure.

Include:

• Automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances;
• Computers (hardware only), broadcasting, telecommunications and other information and communication technologies equipment;
• Motors, generators, transformers;
• Any capitalized tooling expenses;
• Acquisitions to work in progress;
• Progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made;
• Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.

Non-Capital Repair and Maintenance Expenditures

This question represents the repair and maintenance of assets in contrast to the acquisition of assets or the renovation of assets.

Non-capitalized repair and maintenance expenditures are that portion of current or operating expenditures charged against revenue in the year incurred and made for the purpose of keeping the stock of fixed assets in good working condition during the life originally intended.

Repair and maintenance allow such fixed assets to operate at output producing capacity during the asset life without undue amounts of down time (preventive function). A second purpose is the returning of any portion of the stock of fixed assets into a state of good working condition after any malfunctioning or reduced efficiency for whatever reason (curative function) short of replacement of such fixed assets or adding significantly to their life or productive efficiency.

Maintenance expenditures on buildings and other structures may include the routine care of assets such as janitorial services, snow removal and/or salting and sanding by the firm's own employees or persons outside the firm's employ.

Maintenance expenditures on machinery and equipment may include oil change and lubrication of vehicles and machinery.

Include:

• Gross non-capital repair and maintenance expenditures on non-residential buildings, other structures and on machinery and equipment;
• Value of repair work done by your own employees as well as payments to persons outside your employ;
• Building maintenance such as janitorial services, snow removal and sanding;
• Equipment maintenance such as oil changes and lubrication of vehicles and other machinery.

Oil and Gas and Mineral Exploration: These expenditures include mineral rights fees and retention costs, geological, geophysical and seismic expenses, exploration drilling, and other costs incurred during the reporting period in order to determine whether mineral, oil or gas reserves exist and can be exploited commercially. Report gross expenditures, before deducting any incentive grants. Exclude the cost of land and business acquisitions.

Work in Progress: Work in progress represents accumulated costs since the start of capital projects which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.

Cost component of expenditures – internal costs

Internal construction or development costs: (such as material and labour) that are capitalized as part of the asset costs (such as own employee installation or erection of fixed assets, systems and software development staff).

Include all materials and supplies provided free to contractors and all architects, engineering and consultants fees and similar services.

Salaries and Wages: Show the total value of salaries and wages paid to your employees. Salaries and wages are gross earnings before deductions such as income tax and include incentive bonuses and vacation pay but exclude fringe benefits.

Materials and Supplies: Report total cost of materials and supplies used by your own employees and those provided free to contractors relating to the expenditures reported.

Other Charges: Examples of other charges are insurance, power, telephone and also architectural, legal, and engineering fees considered to be applicable to the expenditures reported.

Source of Funding Breakdown

Sources of funding of capital expenditures include grants, subsidies, donations, credit and venture capital from external sources, as well as internal funding.

Disposal and sales of fixed assets

Selling price

The total value, or the sales of fixed assets which were disposed of or sold, even if traded in for credit in the acquisition or purchase of new fixed assets. When land and buildings are sold together, please report the selling price of the land separately, along with other land sales.

Gross book value

This value should represent total capital expenditures for an asset, at and since the time of original construction or purchase, including all subsequent capital expenditures for the purpose of modernization, expansion, etc. Any subsidies received should not be subtracted.

Age

Report the age of the fixed asset at the time of disposal.
If you have disposed of or sold similar assets of varying ages, report them separately or combine the data and provide a weighted average for the ages.

Data Collection: 2013/2014 to 2017/2018

History and background

The Elementary–Secondary Education Survey (ESES) began in 2003 as a Statistics Canada pilot project known as the Elementary–Secondary Education Statistics Project (ESESP). The ESESP survey content originated from three tables that were originally part of a survey sent out each year to all provinces and territories by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. Following formal consultation with all provinces, territories and data users, Statistics Canada introduced seven new tables to collect additional data. The project's goals were to collect expenditures data for elementary and secondary public schools, and to replace several surveys that were collecting data on enrolments, graduates, and educators: the Elementary/Secondary School Enrolment Survey; the Secondary School Graduate Survey; and the Elementary–Secondary Education Staff Survey. Although the ESESP collected expenditure data, the Survey of Uniform Financial System – School Boards survey (SUFSB, record number 3119) remained active.

In January 2010, the ESESP was renamed the Elementary–Secondary Education Survey to symbolize the change from a pilot project to a Statistics Canada ongoing core survey. The main objectives of the collection tool remained: to produce relevant, comparable and timely statistics, and to reduce the respondent burden on educational organizations and school principals.

Statistics Canada maintains a close relationship with the Canadian Education Statistics Council (CESC), particularly its Strategic Management Committee (SMC), and seeks its ongoing advice and guidance on the survey. The CESC is a partnership between the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) and Statistics Canada. It was established in 1989 to improve the quality and comparability of Canadian education data and to provide information that can inform policy development in education. The CESC also produces two sets of education indicators, Education Indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (Statistics Canada catalogue number 81-582-X) and Education Indicators in Canada: An International Perspective (catalogue number 81-604-X), for policy makers, practitioners, and the general public to monitor the performance of education systems, across jurisdictions and over time.

Changes in data collection

The ESES is an annual survey of administrative data that focuses primarily on public schools. It collects aggregate data from the provincial/territorial ministries or departments of education. Information on enrolments and graduates is reported by type of program and by age and sex, and grade and sex. The ESES also collects information pertaining to full- and part-time educators.

Private school data collection: In the summer of 2010, Statistics Canada conducted a jurisdictional review and was able to ascertain that data for enrolments by grade and by age, enrolments in official languages programs, and counts of graduates and educators could also be provided for private schools. Therefore, in January 2011, Statistics Canada began collecting private school data (2009/2010 reference period).

Home-schooling data collection: In the summer of 2011, Statistics Canada conducted another jurisdictional review and was able to ascertain that data for enrolments by grade and by age could also be provided for home-schooling. Therefore, in January 2012, Statistics Canada began collecting home-schooling data (2010/2011 reference period).

General definitions

In order to obtain consistent counts of students, graduates, educators, and expenditures across provinces and territories, it is important that respondents use common definitions.

Ministry/Department of Education: There is no federal department of education and no integrated national system of education in Canada. Ministries or departments of education in Canada's 10 provinces and 3 territories are responsible for the organization, delivery and assessment of education at the elementary and secondary levels.

School boards/districts: Local governance of education is usually entrusted to school boards, school districts, school divisions or district education councils/authorities (the terminology used varies by province/territory). The power delegated to these local authorities, whose members are typically appointed or elected by public ballot, is at the discretion of the provincial and territorial governments and generally consists of the operation and administration (including financial) of the group of schools within their board, district or division, curriculum implementation, responsibility for personnel, enrolment of students, and initiation of proposals for new construction or other major capital expenditures.

The tables explained: ESES financial data

Table 1, Expenditures: The information in the expenditures table (tab 1PubExpenditures) is collected primarily for use by the finance section at the Centre for Education Statistics, where the data form an input into the consolidated revenue and expenditure figures for public elementary–secondary education. The ESES financial data are compared with and validated against other sources of financial data such as provincial/territorial public accounts and school board financial statements.

School board/district expenditures: Include all expenditures (operating and capital) paid directly by district school boards.

Ministry/Department of Education expenditures: Include all expenditures (operating and capital) paid on behalf of district school boards by Ministries/Departments of Education or any other entities responsible for education.

Other provincial/territorial government or agency expenditures: Include all expenditures (operating and capital) incurred by other provincial/territorial departments or agencies such as Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport, etc. Do not include expenses paid on behalf of school districts by Ministries of Education.

Expenditures should be reported by fiscal year.

Include expenditures for programs in elementary and secondary public schools.

Do not include the following expenditure:

• federal expenditures (e.g., schools operated by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada or National Defence, or federal programs such as Canadian Heritage official languages programs, Employment and Social Development Canada programs, Global Affairs Canada programs, and social [health and welfare] programs);
• those for private schools;
• those related to programs at the postsecondary level;
• intra-sectoral transactions;
• principal portion of debt repayments or bank loans;
• recoveries of expenditures from specified purpose;
• provision for vacation pay and similar employee benefit;
• provision for bad debts and any other provisions;
• reserves and other suspense accounts;
• deficits and write-off to losses;
• depreciation on capital expenditures (amortization charges);
• debenture discount;
• taxes remitted to other government sub-sectors (e.g., municipal taxes).

The tables explained: ESES public, private and home-schooling data

The ESES is an annual survey of administrative data that focuses primarily on public schools. It also collects some information pertaining to private/independent schools, as well as home-schooling.

Public schools: Public schools are publicly funded elementary and secondary schools that are operated by school boards or the province or territory. They include all regular public schools as well as provincial reformatory or custodial schools, and other schools that are recognized and funded by the province or territory.

Private/Independent schools: Parents can choose to send their children to private/independent schools, which typically offer a curriculum similar to that provided by public schools, in a similarly structured way. Private/Independent schools encompass elementary and secondary schools that are operated, managed and administered by private individuals and/or groups (e.g., a church, a trade union or a business enterprise, or a foreign or international agency) or that have a governing board that exercises powers similar to those of a board of education and consists mostly of members not selected by a public agency.

The extent to which an institution receives funding from public or private sources does not determine its classification as a public or private school. Privately managed schools may be subject to some regulation or control by public authorities, but these institutions are nevertheless classified as private, provided that they are ultimately subject to private control. Public regulation may extend to areas such as curriculum, staffing appointments, admissions policies, and other matters.

The ESES does not distinguish between government-dependent private and independent private institutions.

Home-schooling: Home-schooling is an alternative method of learning that takes place outside the public or private school environment. Parents choosing home-schooling have the primary responsibility of managing, delivering and supervising their children's courses and programs of learning. Although home-schooling students may be associated with a public or private/independent school, the enrolment counts for home-schooling should be reported separately.

Public school enrolment

Table 2A and Table 2B, Number of students, by type of program, grade and sex / age and sex
(tab 2APubEnrolGradeSex and tab 2BPubEnrolAgeSex)

Public school enrolment is the number of students (headcount) enrolled in publicly funded schools operated by school boards or the province/territory in September (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year.

Include all students (graded and ungraded) in regular publicly funded schools, provincial reformatory or custodial schools, and other students recognized and funded by a province or territory. Students in a specific elementary/secondary grade (graded) should be reported in the appropriate grade. If a student is not considered to be in a specific elementary/secondary grade because he/she is taking different subjects at a number of levels, report the student as ungraded.

Include other, non-standard, enrolments such as those for students receiving educational services (if recognized by the province/territory) and for schools and/or school boards that receive funding in a unique manner. They may be non-graduates who are taking only a few courses required to complete graduation; for example, a student who is enrolled in only 25% of a "regular" course load and for whom the school or school district receives only 25% of the usual funding. Note: This category may not apply to some provinces or territories.

Do not include students enrolled in: programs or schools outside the regular system; home-schooling programs; private/independent schools; or schools that are financed by federal departments (e.g., Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada or the Department of National Defence).

Table 2.1, Regular programs for youth

Report the number of students enrolled in general training programs geared toward and offered primarily to similarly aged young people. Although the majority of enrolments in this category will likely be for school-aged children and youth, some adults may be enrolled.

Table 2.2, Full-time equivalent (FTE) rate – Regular programs for youth

The full-time equivalent (FTE) rate represents the fraction of time spent in a classroom and for which the students are funded. If the fraction is unknown, an estimate should be provided; for example, for junior kindergarten and kindergarten students taking a half-time program that is funded, the FTE enrolment would be the headcount enrolment divided by 2, which is 0.5. If a student is only taking a quarter of the usual course load and is funded on that basis, the FTE enrolment would be the headcount enrolment divided by 4, which is 0.25.

Note: For most jurisdictions, Grades 1 through 12 have an FTE of 1.0 as these grades are generally considered full time. FTEs of less than 1.0 are common for Junior kindergarten and Kindergarten.

Table 2.3, General programs for adults

Report the number of students enrolled in general programs geared toward and offered primarily to adults within the elementary–secondary system. Some students in the youth sector may be enrolled in order to follow programs of study labelled as "adult education".

Do not include students enrolled in programs offered at the postsecondary level, or by any institution other than a school board.

Table 2.4, Vocational programs for youth and adults

Vocational education is designed for students to acquire the practical skills, know-how and understanding necessary for employment in a particular occupation or trade or class of occupations or trades. Successful completion of these programs usually leads students to a relevant labour market vocational qualification recognized by the authorities in the province/territory in which it is obtained.

Vocational students must have at least 25% of their instructional time in a vocational or technical program.

Report the number of students enrolled in professional and technical training programs offered in public schools operated by school boards or the province/territory.

Do not include students enrolled in vocational programs offered at the postsecondary level, or by any institution other than a school board.

Private school enrolment

Table 2A and Table 2B, Number of students, by type of program, grade and sex / age and sex
(tab 2APrivEnrolGradeSex and tab 2BPrivEnrolAgeSex)

Private school enrolment is the number of students enrolled in private/independent schools in September (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year.

Students in a specific elementary/secondary grade (graded) should be reported in the appropriate grade. If a student is not considered to be in a specific elementary/secondary grade because he/she is taking different subjects at a number of levels, report the student as ungraded.

Do not include students enrolled in home-schooling programs, or in schools that are financed by federal departments (e.g., Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada or the Department of National Defence).

Canada outside Quebec: Enrolments in programs where French is taught to students attending English schools, as a subject in the regular course offerings. Quebec: Enrolments in programs where English is taught to students attending French schools, as a subject in the regular course offerings.

Include students enrolled in core French (programme de base de français) - A second language program offered at various grade levels, in which French is studied as a subject. This also includes the extended core program where one or more additional subjects can also be taught in the student's second official language (French outside Quebec, English in Quebec).

Also include students enrolled in intensive/extended French (programme intensif de français) - An enrichment of the core French program that involves periods of intensive study and use of French, while the regular curriculum is "compressed" into the remainder of that school year. It is important to note that the French instruction is focused only on language acquisition.

Table 3.2, French immersion programs

Enrolments in programs where French is the language of instruction for students attending English schools.

Include students enrolled in French immersion (programme d'immersion en français) - A program in which French is the language of instruction for a significant part of the school day; that is, several or all subjects are taught in French, except for English language arts. Immersion is designed for students who want to develop a proficiency in French as a second language.

Do not include enrolments in intensive/extended French programs in Table 3.2; they should be reported in Table 3.1.

Table 3.3, First official language programs for the linguistic minority

Enrolments in programs for students from the official language minority of each province or territory (French outside Quebec, English in Quebec). These programs allow children in the linguistic minority to pursue their education in their first official language.

Table 6, Number of graduates, by type of program, age and sex
(tab 6PubGradAgeSex and tab 6PrivGradAgeSex)

Graduates represent first-time graduates only. Count late graduates but do not count the same graduate twice.

Table 6.1, Regular programs for youth

Include first-time graduates from general programs geared toward and offered primarily to similarly-aged young people. Although the majority of these graduates will likely be typically school-aged youth, some adults may graduate from these programs.

Table 6.2, General programs for adults

Include first-time graduates from general programs geared toward and offered primarily to adult learners within the elementary–secondary school system. This may include some graduates from the youth sector who have pursued programs of study labelled as "adult education", as well as older graduates.

Do not include any graduates of programs offered at the postsecondary level or by any institution other than a school board.

Tables 6.3a & 6.3b, Vocational programs for youth and adults

Include first-time graduates from professional and technical training programs.

Do not include any graduates of vocational programs offered at the postsecondary level or by any institution other than a school board.

Public and private schools, number of educators

Table 7, Number of educators
(tab 7PubEducAgeSex and tab 7PrivEducAgeSex)

Two different counts are captured for educators:

• the number of full-time and part-time educators (headcounts), by age group and sex (Table 7.1); and
• the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) educators, by category and sex (Table 7.2).

In both cases, report the number of educators on September 30 (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year. Educators is a broad category that comprises teachers, school administrators, and pedagogical support.

• Teachers are personnel who provide direct instruction to students, either in a group or on a one-on-one basis. Include:
  • classroom teachers, special education teachers, and other specialists such as music or physical education teachers;
  • other teachers who work with a group, or groups, of students in a classroom, in small groups in a resource room, or one-on-one inside or outside a regular classroom;
  • chairpersons of departments or other administrators/managers who spend the majority of their time teaching; and
  • personnel temporarily not at work (e.g., for reasons of illness or injury, maternity or parental leave, holiday or vacation)

Do not include unpaid instructional personnel such as student teachers.

• School administrators are personnel who are responsible for the organization, administration and management of the school. Include principals, vice-principals, and other management staff with similar responsibilities who do not spend the majority of their time teaching. Do not include those who are in higher level management or receptionists, secretaries, clerks and other staff who support the administrative activities of the school.
• Pedagogical support includes professional non-teaching personnel who provide services to students to support their educational programs. Include, for example, educational assistants, paid teacher's aides, guidance counselors and librarians. Do not include those in health and social support roles who are not educators (e.g., school nurses, school psychologists).

Table 7.1, Number of full-time and part-time educators (headcounts), by age group and sex

An educator headcount is defined as the number of educators on September 30 (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year who are responsible for providing services to the students reported in the enrolment tables (tab 2APubEnrolGradeSex and tab 2BPubEnrolAgeSex). The numbers of full- and part-time educators reported in Table 7.1 will be summed to obtain the total number of educators.

Table 7.2, Number of full-time equivalent (FTE) educators, by category and sex

Full-time equivalent (FTE) educator is defined as the number of full-time educators on September 30 (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year, plus the sum of part-time educators according to their percentage of a full-time employment allocation (determined by the province or territory). For example, if a normal full-time work allocation is 10 months per year, an educator who works for 6 months of the year would be counted as 0.6 of a full-time equivalent (FTE) or an employee who works part time for 10 months at 60% of full time would be 0.6 of an FTE. Report FTEs by category of educator if possible; i.e., in teachers, school administrators, or pedagogical support.
