Note 2

In columns 1 to 3, the OECD averages include postsecondary non-tertiary education. The average for total expenditures in the OECD includes a different number of countries than the averages for educational core services and ancillary services separately. Hence the total may not add up to the sum of these two components.

Note 3

Due to early cutoff 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 2018: OECD Indicators. The figures presented in this report represent the most recent available.

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. As of the 2015/2016 data year there have been changes in the methodology, so these values should not be directly compared to previous years. Please see the Definitions, sources and methodology section of chapter B1 for details. In Quebec, vocational training and general education for adults are included at the secondary level. Note that this indicator does not follow the OECD's new method for calculating expenditure, and focuses on expenditures by educational institutions.
