1. All graduation rates in this table are calculated according to the "net" methodology (see the "Definitions, sources and methodology" section in Indicator A2 for more details).
2. Sum of graduation rates by age, and the latter are obtained by dividing graduates of a specific age by the population of the corresponding specific age.
3. Sum of graduation rates by single year of age up to (and including) the age of 24.
4. These averages are from Education at a Glance 2012: OECD Indicators, Table A.2.1, Upper secondary graduation rates (2010), and Table A.2.2, Upper secondary graduation rates below 25 years old (2010), which present the most recent available data for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's member countries for which data were available or could be estimated. Please see the OECD Web site.
5. The estimates submitted to the OECD for its 2012 report are for 2009, reflecting the 2008/2009 academic year and will be included in its average figures for 2010.
6. Manitoba graduates from Adult Learning Centres in the province are not included in the graduation rate calculation.
Note: The methodology used to produce numbers for Canada and the provinces/territories may differ from that used in a particular province/territory; as a result, the numbers in this table may differ from those published by the provinces/territories.
