Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 1. Enrolments Enrolment in Canadian public elementary and secondary schools has dropped slightly since 1997/1998. Just under.3 million children were enrolled in public schools in the academic year 23/24, a decrease of 1.2 from 1997/1998. From 22/ 23 to 23/24, all provinces and territories reported a decline. Alberta and Ontario were the only provinces that bucked this overall trend of declining enrolments, recording an increase between 1997/1998 and 23/24. There were a total of 49, enrolments in Alberta in 23/24, up 3.2 from 1997/1998. This is consistent with population data, which showed that Alberta s school-age population was up 2.6 from 1997 to 23, largely the result of interprovincial migration. In Ontario, there were 2.1 million enrolments in 23/ 24, up 1.6 from 1997/1998.

The largest decline in student enrolment occurred in Newfoundland and Labrador where the number of students has fallen nearly 2 since 1997/1998 (Chart 1 and Table 1). This is consistent with population estimates data which show that the school-age population in Newfoundland and Labrador also declined nearly 2 over this time period (Table 27). 6 Catalogue no. 81-9-MIE2644

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 This decrease is due in large part to continued migration to other parts of Canada. The number of students declined in all other provinces and territories, ranging from a drop of 12.8 in the Yukon to.7 in the Northwest Territories. The decline in enrolments across the country can be attributed to an aging population, as the children of the baby boomers are now starting their post-secondary education, attributing to the increased post-secondary enrolment which has been observed in recent years. There were slightly more males than females enrolled in Canadian public schools in 23/24, with 1.6 of enrolments consisting of males. This ratio was generally constant over the 1997/1998 to 23/24 time period, across all provinces and territories in Canada, and is also consistent with population estimates of the school-age population.

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 2. Graduates Just over 33, people graduated from public elementary and secondary schools in the academic year 23/24, up 3. from 1999/2. This increase was primarily driven by the elimination of Grade 13 (OAC) in Ontario. When excluding the graduates from the Ontario double cohort, the overall number of graduates in Canada has remained virtually flat over the 1999/2 to 23/24 period (.4). However, variations in the number of graduates were observed over this period in several provinces and territories. Compared to 2/21, the number of graduates shot up 7.9 in Ontario in 21/22, one year before the double cohort occurred. This early increase could be a result of students that were on the verge of graduating deciding to take extra credits to graduate early, in order to start their post-secondary education before the anticipated rush brought on by the elimination of Grade 13 the following year. In 22/23, the year the double cohort occurred, the number of graduates spiked 23.9 compared to 2/21. In 23/24, the number of graduates was still above the norm, with the number of graduates up 6.6 over 2/21. This may be due to some students deciding to stay longer in school in order to increase their marks to better compete when entering at the post secondary level. A total of 32,2 people graduated in Alberta in 23/24, up 13.6 from 1999/2. Notable increases in the number of graduates also occurred in the Yukon (28.7), Northwest Territories (18.4), Nova Scotia (.4) and Manitoba (3.9), from 1999/2 to 23/24.

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 In contrast, the largest declines in the number of graduates occurred in Newfoundland and Labrador (17.3), New Brunswick (1.3) and in Saskatchewan (.1) (Chart 2 and Table 7). The decline in Newfoundland and Labrador was consistent with a drop in school enrolment, the result of out-migration to other provinces or territories (Chart 1 and Table 1). A portion of this decline is likely due to the introduction of provincial examinations in 2/21. Catalogue no. 81-9-MIE2644 9

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 3. Educators There were just under 31, educators 1 in Canadian public schools in 23/ 24, an increase of 2.3 from seven years earlier. Compared with 1997/1998, about the same number of jurisdictions had a decrease in educators as had an increase: a total of seven jurisdictions had an increase of educators since 1997/1998 versus six that had a decrease. This figure fluctuated widely during this 7 year period (Table 9). Between 1997/1998 and 23/24, the number of educators based on fulltime equivalents varied by less than in all jurisdictions, except three Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Newfoundland and Labrador (Chart 3 and Table 9). The number of educators increased 8 in Alberta and 17.3 in the Northwest Territories, and fell 12. in Newfoundland and Labrador.

In Prince Edward Island and Quebec, the number of educators has been increasing since 1997/1998. The number of educators in British Columbia and Yukon have been declining since 21/22 (Table 9). 1 Catalogue no. 81-9-MIE2644

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 Between 22/23 and 23/24, the number of educators, based on fulltime equivalents, varied by less than 1 in most jurisdictions. A slightly more significant variation was observed in four jurisdictions; the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Nunavut and Newfoundland and Labrador. The number of educators increased.4 in the Northwest Territories and fell 3.3 in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1.7 in Nunavut and 1.6 in British Columbia (Chart 4, Table 9).

Que. Sask. Can. Y.T. Ont. B.C. Nvt. N.L. -4 Between 1997/1998 and 23/24, the number of educators increased more than enrolments or decreased less in every jurisdiction, except for British Columbia. As a result, the student-educator ratio declined everywhere, except in British Columbia (Table 1). A decline in the student-educator ratio means fewer students per educator. The national student-educator ratio has declined each year over the last seven, decreasing 3.7 since 1997/1998. A similar trend occurred in two jurisdictions - Prince Edward Island and Quebec (Table 1). The student-educator ratio must not be confused with class size. The former is much smaller because it accounts for the personnel outside the class (principals, counsellors or specialists) and teachers time outside the classroom (for preparation and marking). At the national level, in 23/24, there were 16 students for each educator. This ratio was higher than 17 to one in Alberta and Nunavut. Catalogue no. 81-9-MIE2644 11

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 4. Spending Total spending increased at a faster rate than inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. The total expenditures of public elementary and secondary schools in Canada rose by 22 in the past seven years, from $34. billion in 1997/1998 to $42.2 billion in 23/24 (Table 1). In comparison, inflation went up 14 during the same time frame. Nationwide in 23/24, operational expenses represented 86 of total expenditures, compared to 7 for capital expenditures. The other expenditures are mainly from teacher pensions and interest on debt services (Chart 6 and Tables 13, 14 and 1).

Operating expenditures Annual capital expenditures Other expenditures Note: In general, other expenditures include teachers superannuation pension funds and interest on debt services. Differences in the type of teachers pension systems may affect the comparability between jurisdictions. Operational expenses In 1997/1998, operational expenses in the nation were $29.3 billion (Table 13). Six years later, they reached $36.4 billion, a 24 increase, compared to an inflation rate of 14 for the same period. It should be noted that more than half of operational expenses are directly linked to educators salary expenses. Catalogue no. 81-9-MIE2644 13

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 From 1997/1998 to 23/24, the operational expenses of New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia continued to grow. Alberta had the highest increase in operational expenses between 1997/1998 and 23/24 at more than 39, compared to Newfoundland and Labrador, whose increase was less than 14. Annual capital expenditures Nationwide in 1997/1998, annual capital expenditures amounted to $2.3 billion, compared to $2.8 billion in 23/24, also an increase of 24 (Table 14). In 2/21, annual capital expenditures reached a high, with investments of $3.2 billion, a 39 increase over 1997/1998. It should be noted that annual capital expenditures can vary upward or downward, depending on the types of investments made, as demonstrated by Saskatchewan (82) and Nova Scotia (44) in 2/21. However, annual capital expenditures represented between 7 and 8 of total expenditures nationally, over the seven fiscal years examined by the study. 14 Catalogue no. 81-9-MIE2644

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24. Total expenditures per student Nationally in 1997/1998, total expenditures per student in public elementary and secondary schools amounted to $6,89, in current dollars. Six years later, they reached $8,4, representing an increase of 24 (Table 16a). In comparison, inflation went up 14 during the same time frame. In 23/24, spending per student was more than $1, in the Yukon and more than $13, in the Northwest Territories (in current dollars). In the provinces, spending per student amounted to a maximum of more than $9, in Manitoba and a minimum of $7,2 in Nova Scotia (Chart 7 and Table 16a). Chart 7 Total expenditures per student, 23/24 (in current dollars) $ $ 16, 16, 14, 14, 12, 12, 1, 1, 8, 8, 6, 6, 4, 4, 2, 2, Y.T. N.W.T. Man. Ont. Alta. Can. Que. B.C. N.B. Sask. N.L. P.E.I. N.S. Note: Comparisons between jurisdictions should be made with care. Factors that influence total spending per student on education, such as the size of the school-age population, need to be taken into account. In all cases, total expenditures per student (in current dollars) increased at a faster rate than inflation. In fact, in most of the provinces and territories, the total expenditures per student rose more than twice as quickly as inflation. Ontario had the smallest difference between total expenditures per student and inflation, at only 4 (Tables 16a and 32). Catalogue no. 81-9-MIE2644 1

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 6. Average remuneration of educators Between 1997/1998 and 23/24, average remuneration of educators (in current dollars) rose in all provinces and territories in Canada, except in Newfoundland (-3.9) and Prince Edward Island (-.9) in 1999/2, in New Brunswick (-.8) in 2/21 and in British Columbia (-.8 and -2.1) and in the Yukon (.8 and -1.7), respectively in 1998/1999 and 2/21 (Table 11). In 23/24, Quebec had the smallest gap between the average remuneration of educators and that of full-year, full-time workers. The average remuneration of educators was $1,96, compared to $42, for full-year, full-time workers, a difference of $9,46. In all the other provinces, the average remuneration of educators exceeded the income of full-year, full-time workers by more than $1,6 (Chart 8 and Tables 11 and 3). On average, in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, educators earned more than $6, in 23/24 and were responsible for 17 or more students. In Manitoba, they also earned more than $6, but were responsible for 1 students. On the contrary, in Quebec, they earned just less than $2, and were responsible for 14 students (Chart 8 and Tables 1 and 11). Chart 8 Average remuneration per educator, 23/24 (in current dollars) $ $ 9, 9, 8, 8, 7, 7, 6, 6,,, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, Y.T. N.W.T. Alta. Ont. B.C. Man. Can. N.L. N.S. Sask. P.E.I. N.B.

Summary Public School Indicators for the Provinces and Territories, 1997-1998 to 23-24 Between 1997/1998 and 23/24, Alberta had the most pronounced difference between the increase in the average remuneration of educators (27) and the increase in the average income of full-year, full-time workers (7). In Alberta, the inflation rate was 18 during this same period (Tables 11, 3 and 32). In 23/24, average remuneration of educators represented between 38 and 7 of operational expenses (Table 21).
