Access and Support to Education and Training Survey, 2008 [Canada]

The ASETS brings together three previously-conducted surveys that addressed issues relating to antecedents and determinants to access to postsecondary education, the role of student loans and savings in the financing of postsecondary education and participation in adult education and training. The ASETS replaces the Survey of Approaches to Educational Planning (SAEP), the Post-secondary Education Participation Survey (PEPS) and the Adult Education and Training Survey (AETS), which were last conducted in 2002 and 2003. Bringing together the three surveys realizes economies of scale in the management, development, implementation and dissemination of the survey.

ASETS数据集整合了三项既往开展的调研，研究主题涵盖高等教育入学的前置因素与决定因素、学生贷款与储蓄在高等教育筹资中的作用，以及成人教育与培训参与状况。ASETS取代了三项此前实施的调研：《教育规划方法调查》（Survey of Approaches to Educational Planning，SAEP）、《高等教育参与度调查》（Post-secondary Education Participation Survey，PEPS）与《成人教育与培训调查》（Adult Education and Training Survey，AETS），上述三项调研的最后一轮实施工作均完成于2002年与2003年。通过整合这三项调研，可在调研的管理、开发、实施与传播环节实现规模经济效益。
