The participation rate in education reflects the total enrolment in an elementary/high school, college, or university as a percentage of the total population for each age group. Includes full- and part-time students who were taking a "credit course"; i.e., a course or program of instruction that could be counted towards a degree, certificate or diploma. The number of students is based on a monthly average from September to April. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2. Adjustments are made to LFS data every five years after new population estimates become available following the most recent census. At that time, all LFS data back to the previous census is re-weighted using the new population estimates (since the new population estimates will cover the inter-censal period between the two most recent censuses), and all corresponding historical LFS estimates are revised. Therefore, at the beginning of 2015, all estimates were adjusted to reflect 2011 Census population counts and LFS estimates have been revised back to January 2001. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3. Captures public and private educational establishments: elementary, junior high school, high school or equivalent; community college, junior college or CEGEP; and university. Other types of schools, such as private institutes or vocational or secretarial schools, are excluded from the numerators for the totals. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4. Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using results from the provinces. LFS results for the territories are not included in the national estimates. Difficulties exist with respect to reaching small communities in the territories, and there are areas that are excluded. As well, since the sample design, rotation pattern and reliability criteria are different from those in the 10 provinces, estimates for the territories are not included with the provincial totals, but are calculated and reported separately.

Figures may not add up to totals because of rounding. Return to note 6 referrer Notes: The elimination of Grade 13 (Ontario Academic Credits [OAC]) in Ontario after 2002/2003 may have affected participation rates at certain ages. Caution should be exercised in interpreting the ratios for the provinces and territories and differences in ratios between the provinces/territories and over time, as small estimates may present fairly high sampling variability. Estimates for small geographic areas, small age groups, or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability.
