Education Indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program

The Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP) draws from a wide variety of data sources to provide information on the school-age population, elementary, secondary and postsecondary education, transitions, and labour market outcomes.

PCEIP products include tables, fact sheets, reports and a methodological handbook. They present indicators for all of Canada, the provinces, the territories, as well as selected international comparisons and comparisons over time.

The Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP) is an ongoing initiative of the Canadian Education Statistics Council, a partnership between Statistics Canada and the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada that provides a set of statistical measures on education systems in Canada.

Beginning with the June 2009 issue, the publication strategy for Education Indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program has changed. Instead of a single comprehensive report published every two years, there will be more frequent, but smaller releases of tables and charts, to continually update and add to the overall set of PCEIP indicators. Older tables and charts will remain available by accessing previous issues. At the same time as the table and chart releases, a fact sheet (Catalogue 81-599-X) providing an analytical overview of some of the new data will be published. An international report will also be released as part of the PCEIP project, beginning in Fall 2009.
