The data in this release are from the Elementary–Secondary Education Survey ( ESES). For more information, please refer to " Education Indicators in Canada: An International Perspective, 2020."
Data from the PCEIP reveal that in 2017/2018, 81% of high school students graduated within three years after starting grade 10 (and "Secondary 3" in Quebec), while 89% graduated within five years. While the ESES data cannot be used to calculate high school graduation rates, the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program ( PCEIP), another Statistics Canada program, has developed a true-cohort methodology to calculate graduation rates. In spite of widespread school closures and lockdowns, the number of students who graduated at the end of the 2019/2020 school year was similar to the previous school year, when 384,204 students graduated. In 2019/2020, there were 381,156 students who graduated from high schools in Canada, amid the uncertainty of the early months of the COVID -19 pandemic. Little change in the number of high school graduates It does not include distance learning or online learning, which are provided by schools. Home-schooling is an alternative method of learning outside the school environment where parents deliver courses and instructional programs to their children. This proportion has remained relatively stable in recent years. The remaining students (0.7%) were home-schooled during the 2019/2020 school year. During this period, the increase in public school enrolments (0.8%) was closely aligned with population growth.Įnrolments in private/independent schools have been increasing at a higher rate than both the school-aged population and public school enrolments every year since 2015/2016. Similar to previous years, British Columbia (13.1%) and Quebec (9.8%) had the highest proportion of their students attending private/independent schools.įrom 2018/2019 to 2019/2020, private/independent school enrolments rose by 1.7%, compared with a 0.8% increase for the school-aged population. The vast majority of students (91.8%) in Canada attended public schools in 2019/2020, while 7.6% of students attended private/independent schools.

Enrolments in private/independent schools continue to grow Results from the next cycle of the ESES, to be released in fall 2022, will provide more information on the impact of the COVID -19 pandemic on elementary–secondary enrolments for the 2020/2021 school year. Data collected by the Elementary–Secondary Education Survey ( ESES) represent the number of students enrolled at the beginning of the 2019/2020 school year. In the same school year, over 380,000 students graduated from Canadian high schools in the midst of the COVID -19 pandemic.Īs a result of this global pandemic, students experienced significant changes to their educational instruction, with most students learning remotely at the end of the 2019/2020 school year. These students were attending public schools, private/independent schools, or were home-schooled.
Over 5.7 million students in Canada were enrolled in elementary and secondary school programs in 2019/2020.
