Note 1

For the university sector, financial data are collected at an institutional level only, and cannot be divided by type of program. As a result, expenditures also include any expenditures for programs that are not at the Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral levels such as career, technical or professional training programs.

Notes: Comparisons between the provinces and territories must be made with caution. Certain differences in the cost per student figures by province/territory at the secondary level are attributable to whether or not registrations for adult education programs are included in enrolments in some provinces/territories.
In Quebec, vocational training and general education for adults are included at the secondary level.
