1. Expenditure on private business colleges are not included.
2. Nunavut was created on April 1, 1999. Prior to that date, expenditure data for Nunavut were included with data for the Northwest Territories. This creates a break in series for the Northwest Territories in 1999/2000. In the case of Nunavut at the trade-vocational level, as the only college started reporting tuition fees (part of private expenditure) for the trade-vocational portion in 2000/2001, the index calculation is for the period 2000/2001 to 2003/2004 only (2000/2001 = 100). The indices of change for the Northwest Territories (1999/2000=100) and Nunavut (1999/2000=100 and 2000/2001 = 100) cannot be directly compared to indices with other base years.
Note: Large year-over-year variations in public and private funding to school boards are caused by accounting adjustments to prior-year surpluses and/or deficits. This means that trends should be observed over a period of years rather than from one year to the next.
