Public Elementary and Secondary Education Financial Statistics: Interactive tool

Additional information

Data are from the Survey of Uniform Financial System – School Boards. The objective of this annual survey is to collect financial information on school boards and districts across Canada. These financial statistics are collected from every province and territory, with the exception of Nunavut where data are estimated, and are converted into a standard classification. Data for this survey are not available at the school board/district level.

Employer contributions to teachers’ pension plans are partially or entirely paid by school boards/districts in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Northwest Territories.

All dollar figures are not adjusted for inflation unless otherwise specified.

Debt charges include only the interest portion of repayment made by the schools.

Caution should be taken in comparing provinces directly since provinces have different funding formulas, and structures.
