The Elementary-Secondary Education Statistics Project (ESESP) started as a pilot project that was first introduced by Statistics Canada (STC) in 2003. The survey content originates from three (3) tables which were originally part of a survey that was 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, seven (7) new tables were introduced by Statistics Canada to collect additional data. The goal of this project is to collect elementary/secondary expenditure data and to replace several surveys which were used for the collection of enrolment, graduate, and educator data. These included the former Elementary-Secondary School Enrolment Survey, the Secondary School Graduate Survey, the Elementary-Secondary Education Staff Survey and the Principal’s Statistical Report as the official collection tools for elementary-secondary enrolments, graduates, and staff data. Although this project collects expenditure data, the Survey of Uniform Financial System – School Boards survey remains active. The main objectives we are hoping to achieve with this collection tool are to produce relevant, comparable and timely statistics and to reduce the respondent burden on educational organisations and school principals.
Statistics Canada maintains a close relationship with the Canadian Education Statistics Council, particularly the Strategic Management Committee (SMC) and seeks their on-going advice and guidance on the survey.
The Canadian Education Statistics Council (CESC) is a partnership between the Council of Ministers of Education of Canada (CMEC) and Statistics Canada. CESC 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.
CESC produces “Education Indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program” (PCEIP) to provide a set of statistical measures on education systems in Canada for policy makers, practitioners, and the general public to monitor the performance of education systems, across jurisdictions and over time.
In January 2010, the name of the ESESP changed to the Elementary-Secondary Education Survey (ESES) to symbolize the change from a pilot project to an on-going core survey of Statistics Canada.
In order to obtain consistent counts of students, educators, graduates and expenditures for school boards and districts across provinces and territories, it is very important that respondents use common definitions.
The term School Board is used throughout this document. School Board encompasses district school boards, school authorities and/or their equivalent depending on the jurisdiction.
School District
The terminology “school district” refers to all school boards and/or school districts.
School district expenditures
Include all expenditures (operating and capital) paid directly by district school boards.
Ministry of Education expenditures
Include all expenditures (operating and capital) expenses paid on behalf of district school boards by Ministries/Departments of Education or any other entities responsible for education (ex: Ministry of Learning, Ministry of Advanced Education).
Other provincial governments or agencies expenditures
Include all expenditures (operating and capital) incurred by other provincial departments or agencies such as Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport, etc… Please DO NOT include expenses paid on behalf of school districts by Ministries of Education.
The following are included:
The following are excluded:
Educator remuneration:
Salaries, Wages and Allowances (row1)

Enrolment
Number of students (headcount) enrolled in publicly funded schools operated by school boards or the province in September (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year. It includes all students in regular publicly funded schools (graded and ungraded), provincial reformatory or custodial schools, and other students recognized and funded by a province or territory.
Exclude correspondence or distance education enrolments, private school students, independent school students or students in schools financed by federal departments ( e.g. the Department of National Defense and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs).
Include other non-standard enrolment including students receiving educational services (if recognized by the province) and for schools and/or school districts 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. This category may not apply to some provinces or territories.
Table 2.1 Regular Programs for Youth
Enrolments in general training programs offered to similarly aged young students.
Table 2.2 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Rate (Adjustment Factor) - Regular Programs for Youth
Full time equivalent (FTE) rate represents the time fraction spent in classroom and for which students are funded. If the time fraction is unknown, an estimate should be used. For example, junior kindergarten and kindergarten students taking a half-time program and where a half-time program is being funded, the FTE enrolment would be the headcount enrolment divided by two, 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 four, which is 0.25.
For most jurisdictions, grades 1-12 have an FTE of 1.0 as these grades are generally considered full-time whereas FTE’s of less than 1.0 are prevalent for the Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten grades.
Table 2.3 Upgrading Programs for Adults
Include enrolments in General Education Development (GED), Adult Basic Education (ABE) and other equivalency programs.
Exclude any enrolments in upgrading programs offered at the postsecondary level or by any institution other than a school board.
Table 2.4 Vocational Programs for Youth and Adults
Include enrolments in all professional and technical training programs offered in public schools operated by school boards or the province.
Vocational Education is designed to lead 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 such programs usually lead to a labour-market relevant vocational qualification recognized by the competent authorities in the province/territory in which it is obtained.
To be considered a vocational student, at least 25 per cent of the student’s instructional time must be in a vocational or technical program.
Exclude any enrolments in vocational programs offered at the postsecondary level or by any institution other than a school board
Table 3.1 Regular Second Language Programs (or Core Language programs)
Enrolments in programs where French is taught to Anglophone students or English is taught to Francophone students as a “subject” in the regular course offerings. One or more additional subjects can also be taught in the student’s second official language but second language instruction must not exceed 25% of all instruction time.
Table 3.2 Second Language Immersion Programs
Enrolments in programs where French is the language of instruction for Anglophone students or English is the language of instruction for Francophone students. Instruction time in the student’s second official language exceeds 25% of all instruction time.
Table 3.3 Minority Language Programs (or First Official Language programs)
Enrolments in programs for students from the official language linguistic minority in the relevant province or territory (French outside Québec, English in Québec). These programs allow children in the linguistic minority to pursue their education in their first official language.
Table 4.1 Aboriginal as Language of Instruction (a.k.a. Aboriginal second language program or Core Aboriginal)
Enrolments in programs where an Aboriginal language is taught as a subject as part of regular course offerings. One or more additional subjects can also be taught in an Aboriginal language but may not exceed 25% of all instruction time.

Table 4.2 Aboriginal Language as Language of Instruction (a.k.a. Aboriginal first language program)
Enrolments in schools where all classroom instruction is taught in an Aboriginal language for Aboriginal students (exclude non-Aboriginal/First Nation students).
Special Needs Education
Students with special educational needs are those who have been identified with an exceptionality for whom additional public and/or private resources are provided to support their education. Additional resources are resources made available over and above those generally available to regular students. They are resources provided to support students who have difficulties following the regular curriculum. They can consist of personnel resources (a more favorable teacher/student ratio, additional teachers, assistants or other personnel), material resources (aides or supports of various types, modification or adaptation to classroom, specialized teaching materials) or financial resources (modified funding formulae, money set aside within the regular budget allocation or additional payments).
Following the OECD definitions and recommendations from the Special Education and Student Services Directors of the Western and Northern Canada Protocol, these students are broken in three sub-categories:
If a student has multiple special educational needs, this student should be counted in each of the sub-categories. However, please make sure that these students are only counted once in the totals.
Regular Class
Classroom composed of similarly aged students.
Students who are withdrawn from a regular class to receive special education services for less than 25% of their instructional time or students who receive special supports while attending a regular class are deemed attending a regular class.
Special Class
Segregated (all-day or partial) classroom composed of students with identified special education needs. If a student spends 25% or more of her/his time outside of the regular classroom, they are considered attending a special classroom.
Graduates
Include first time graduates only. Count late graduates but do not count the same graduate twice.

Table 7.1 Number of full-time and part-time educators by age group and sex (headcounts)
Headcount Educator
Defined as the number of educators on September the 30th (or as close as possible thereafter) of the school year who are responsible for providing services to the headcount enrolment students.
Table 7.2 Number of Full-Time Equivalent ( FTE ) educators by categories
Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Educator
Defined as the number of full-time educators on September the 30th (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 ten months per year, an educator who works for six months of the year would be counted as 0.6 of a Full Time Equivalent (FTE) or an employee who works part time for ten months at 60% of full time would be 0.6 of an FTE.
Please report FTE’S under the three following categories: teachers, school administrators and pedagogical support.

An engineer, a production manager, an operation manager or someone knowledgeable about the energy consumption and production process of this enterprise should complete this questionnaire.
Please report all quantities of energy commodities consumed from the 1st of January to the 31st of December, be they purchased or self-generated by the industrial establishment. Exclude energy used by contractors, common carriers and suppliers. Round all data to the nearest whole number. If you need assistance, please contact Statistics Canada at the telephone number indicated on your questionnaire.
Please keep a copy of the completed questionnaire with your secure records until March 31, 2012.
Amount consumed as fuel: The quantity of the energy commodity used to power the production process of the plant, which includes heating and transportation at the establishment.
Amount consumed to produce steam for sale: The quantity of the energy commodity used in the production of steam that is delivered to another establishment, as per a sales contract or other understanding. Energy used in the production of steam that is then used internally in the production process is reported in the “amount consumed as fuel” column.
Amount consumed to produce electricity: The quantity of the energy commodity used to generate electricity either for the plant’s own use or for delivery to another establishment, as per a sales contract or other understanding.
Amount consumed for non-energy use: The quantity of the energy commodity used for other purposes than As Fuel in the plant production process or to Produce Electricity or Steam. Some examples of energy commodities used for non-energy use are:
Please report your energy use according to the following commodity definitions.
Electricity: A form of energy generated by friction, induction or chemical change that is caused by the presence and motion of elementary-charged particles. The electricity that is consumed can either be received by the establishment (purchased) or produced by the establishment (self-generated).
Natural gas: A mixture of hydrocarbons, comprised principally of methane (CH4), originating in the gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in porous geologic formations beneath the earth’s surface.
Propane: A gaseous, straight-chained hydrocarbon. A colourless, paraffinic gas extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams, consisting of molecules composed of three atoms of carbon and eight atoms of hydrogen (C3H8). Used primarily in residential and commercial heating and cooling, as transportation fuel and petrochemical feedstock.
Diesel: All grades of distillate fuel used for diesel engines, including those with low sulphur content (lower than 0.05%). Does not include diesel used for transportation off the plant site.
Light fuel oil: A light petroleum distillate used for power burners. Includes fuel oil no. 2, fuel oil no. 3, furnace fuel oil, gas oils, and light industrial fuel.
Kerosene and other middle distillates: Includes kerosene (a light petroleum distillate that is used in space heaters, cook stoves and water heaters and is suitable for use as a light source when burned in wick-fed lamps; also known as stove oil), fuel oil no. 1, and mineral lamp oil. Does not include gasoline used for transportation off the plant site.
Heavy fuel oil (Canadian/Foreign): All grades of residual type fuels including those with low sulphur content. Usually used for steam and electric power generation and diesel motors. Includes heavy fuel oil nos. 4, 5, 6 and bunker C.
Wood and wood waste: Wood and wood energy used as fuel, including round wood (cord wood), lignin, wood scraps from furniture and window frame manufacturing, wood chips, bark, sawdust, shavings, lumber rejects, forest residues, charcoal and pulp waste from the operation of pulp mills, sawmills and plywood mills.
Spent pulping liquor (Black liquor): A recycled by-product formed during the pulping of wood in the paper-making process. It is primarily made up of lignin and other wood constituents and chemicals that are by-products of the manufacture of chemical pulp. It is burned As Fuel or in a recovery boiler which produces steam which can be used to produce electricity.
Refuse: Solid or liquid waste materials used as a combustible energy source. This would include the burning of wastepaper, packing materials, garbage and other industrial, agricultural and urban refuse and is often used to generate electricity. Please specify type.
Steam: A gas resulting from the vaporization of a liquid or the sublimation of a solid, generated by condensing or non-condensing turbines. The steam that is consumed can either be produced by the establishment (self-generated) or received by the establishment (purchased).
Special note: the fuels used to generate steam within the establishment (self-generated) should be reported under “as fuel” for those fuels. For example, if 100 cubic metres of heavy fuel oil was used to produce steam, it should be included under “as fuel” for heavy fuel oil.
Statistics Canada is currently reviewing the ICE questionnaire and changes may be made in the future that will allow respondents to report for fuels used “to produce steam” separately from the “as fuel” component. To date, the self-generated steam values have not been made publicly available, they are used for internal analysis only.
Coal: A readily combustible, black or brownish-black rock-like substance, whose composition, including inherent moisture, consists of more than 50% by weight and 70% by volume of carbonaceous material. It is formed from plant remains that have been compacted, hardened, chemically altered and metamorphosed by heat and pressure over geologic time without access to air.
Bituminous coal (Canadian/Foreign): A dense, black coal, often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material with a moisture content usually less than 20 per cent. It has a higher heating value and higher volatile matter and ash content than sub-bituminous coal; the heating value of bituminous coal typically ranges from 23.3 to 30.2 terajoules per kilotonne. Used in making coke, in steam and electricity production, as well as in the production of steel. Metallurgical coal is typically bituminous coal.
Sub-bituminous coal (Canadian/Foreign): A black coal used primarily for thermal generation. It has a high moisture content, between 15 and 40 percent by weight. Its sulphur content is typically quite low; its ash content is also usually low but volatile matter is usually high and can exceed 40% of the weight. Heating value varies from 16.3 terajoules per kilotonne to slightly over 20.9 terajoules per kilotonne.
Lignite: Low-rank, brown coals which are distinctly brown and woody or claylike in appearance, and which contain relatively high moisture contents (between 30 and 70 percent of the fuel by weight). Used almost exclusively for electric power generation.
Anthracite: A hard, black, lustrous coal containing a high percentage of fixed carbon, a low percentage of volatile matter, little moisture content, low sulfur, low ash and a high heating value at or above 27.7 terajoules per kilotonne that burns with a nearly smokeless flame. Generally used in the production of steel.
Coal coke (Canadian/Foreign): A hard, porous product made from the carbonization (baking) of bituminous coal in ovens in substoichiometric atmosphere at high temperatures to the extent that the volatile matter of the coal is released and the coal passes through a “plastic stage” to become metallurgical coke. Often used as a fuel and a carbon input (reducing agent) in smelting iron ore in an integrated steel mill (blast furnace). Coke breeze and foundry coke are included in this category.
Coal tar: Organic material separated from coke oven gas evolved during coking operations (a black and viscous liquid). This category includes pyridine, tar acids, naphthalene, creosote oil, and coal pitch.
Light coal oil: Condensable products (primarily benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha) obtained during distillation of the coke oven gas, following removal of the coal tar.
Coke oven gas: Obtained as a by-product of solid fuel carbonization and gasification operations carried out by coke producers and iron and steel plants.
Petroleum coke (Canadian/Foreign): A final product, often called a “waste product”, of the petroleum refining process, which is the output of the refinery after all of the distillates and oils have been distilled from crude oil, leaving a product that has the appearance of coal. There are various types, e.g. “sponge”, “shot”, and “fluid” coke, which are differentiated according to size. Petroleum coke is a residue high in carbon content and low in hydrogen that is the final product of thermal decomposition in the condensation process in cracking. It is typically high in sulfur, low in volatile matter, low in ash and low in moisture. It may be sold as is or further purified by calcining for specialty uses, including anode production. It may also be burned as fuel in various processes, ranging from power plants to cement kilns. Heating value is typically around 40 terajoules per kilotonne.
Refinery fuel gas: Any un-separated mixture of gases produced in refineries by distillation, cracking, reforming and other processes. The principal constituents are methane, ethane, ethylene, normal butane, butylenes, propane, propylene, etc. Also known as still gas. Still gas is used as a refinery fuel and a petrochemical feedstock.
Coke on catalyst (Catalyst coke): In many catalytic operations (e.g. catalytic cracking), carbon is deposited on the catalyst, thus deactivating the catalyst. The catalyst is reactivated by burning off the carbon, which is used as a fuel in the refining process. The carbon or coke is not recoverable in a concentrated form.
Bitumen emulsion (Orimulsion): A thick oil and water emulsion. It is made by mixing bitumen with about 30% water and a small amount of surfactant. Behaves similarly to fuel oil and was developed for industrial use.
Ethane: A normally gaseous, straight-chain hydrocarbon. A colourless, paraffinic gas extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams, consisting of molecules composed of two atoms of carbon and six atoms of hydrogen (C2H6), used as petrochemical feedstock in production of chemicals and plastics and as a solvent in enhanced oil recovery process.
Butane: A normally gaseous hydrocarbon. A colourless, paraffinic gas extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams, consisting of molecules composed of four atoms of carbon and ten atoms of hydrogen (C4H10), used primarily for blending in high-octane gasoline, for residential and commercial heating, and in the manufacture of chemicals and synthetic rubber.
Naphtha: A feedstock destined primarily for the petrochemical industry (e.g. ethylene manufacture or aromatics production). Naphtha specialties comprise all finished products within the naphtha boiling range of 70-200°C that are used as paint thinners, cleaners or solvents.
By-product gas: A mixture of hydrocarbons and hydrogen produced from chemical processes such as ethane cracking.
Flared gas: Gas that is being burned as a means of disposal to the environment usually when it contains odorous or toxic components. Flared gas should be reported as non-energy use.
Other - Any energy commodity consumed not otherwise identified on the questionnaire. Specify in the space provided along with the unit of measure.
Reasons for changes in energy consumption
This section aims to reduce the necessity for further inquiries. Statistics Canada compares responses to this questionnaire with those from previous years. Please indicate the reason(s) that best describe significant changes in your energy consumption from the previous year along with an explanation.
Steam sales
If an energy commodity is used to generate steam for sale, please report, in gigajoules, the amount sold to external clients.
To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, who must keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.
Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.
For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.
Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.
For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, as well as Natural Resources Canada, Environment Canada, National Energy Board, and the Alberta Department of Energy. For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.
