![Education Matters: Insights on education, learning and training in Canada](i/title-eng.jpg)
April 2006, volume 3 number 1
Full-time postsecondary students rely heavily on earnings from paid employment
to help finance their education. While more full-time students aged 18 to
24 are working - and working more hours - during the school year than ever
before, there has been little improvement in the student summer-job market
in the last few years.
Sharp rises in tuition fees have occurred in professional programs, especially in Ontario. One result
has been a shift in enrolment patterns in those programs, with a decrease in the share of enrolment
accounted for by students from middle-class families.
NEW!
The fourth edition of Education Indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program
is now available. It provides a wealth of statistical information on education for the provinces and territories,
including trends in enrolment and graduation at all levels, as well as trends for educators and expenditures in
education. It also presents a broad statistical portrait of the school-age population and indicators on
such topics as the school readiness of children aged four and five and labour market outcomes.
