1. Nunavut was created on April 1, 1999. Prior to that date, data for Nunavut were included with data for the Northwest Territories. This creates a break in series for the Northwest Territories in 1999/2000.
Notes: Large year-over-year variations in public and private funding to school boards are caused by accounting adjustments to prior-year surpluses and/or deficits. This means that trends should be observed over a period of years rather than from one year to the next. Estimates are subject to change.
Beginning in 2009, dollar amounts in these tables are being presented in current dollars, rather than constant dollars. All indices have been recalculated using the current dollar amounts and a new index base year. Population estimates were updated with revised figures. To convert this current dollar data to constant dollar amounts for comparison over time, it is recommended that the Gross domestic product (GDP) implicit price index be used for national and provincial-level conversions. For the index and further details on converting see Table F.1.2 (Statistics Canada and Council of Ministers of Education, Canada. December 2009. Education indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program. Catalogue no. 81-582-XIE. Ottawa.). Previous versions of this table were converted to constant dollars using the Consumer Price Index.
