1. The grades reflected in these ISCED categories vary by province/territory. Upper secondary includes Grades 7 to 11 in Quebec, Grades 8 to 12 in British Columbia and the Yukon, Grades 9 to 12 in New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba, and Grades 10 to 12 in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The figures for Canada that appear in Education at a Glance 2012: OECD Indicators, reflect enrolment at the secondary level based on Grades 9 to 12.
2. These averages are from Education at a Glance 2012: OECD Indicators, Table B.1.1a, Annual expenditure per student by educational institutions for all services (2009) and Table B.1.2, Annual expenditure per student by educational institutions on core services, ancillary services and R&D (2009). These tables 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.
3. In column 5, the OECD average includes postsecondary non-tertiary education (ISCED 4). In column 6, the OECD average includes the entire tertiary sector (ISCED levels 5A, 5B and 6), and the figures for Canada and the provinces and territories reflect the university sector only (ISCED 5A/6).
4. Due to early cut-off dates for submission of data to the OECD, the figures for Canada presented in this report are not the same as those published in the OECD's Education at a Glance 2012: OECD Indicators. The figures presented in this table represent the most recent available.
