Elementary-Secondary Education Statistics Project [Canada] [B2020 & Excel]

The Elementary-Secondary Education Statistics Project (ESESP) is a national pilot survey that enables Statistics Canada to provide information on enrolments, graduates, educators and finance of Canadian elementary-secondary public educational institutions. This information is used mainly to meet policy and planning needs in the field of elementary-secondary education. ESESP annually collects aggregate data from each jurisdiction. Specifically, the information on enrolments pertains to the following four programs: regular, minority and second languages, Aboriginal language and special needs education. The information on regular programs is collected by type of programs (regular, upgrading and professional), education sector (youth or adult), grade and sex. The one on minority and second language programs is collected by type program (immersion, as language of instruction, as a subject taught) and by grade. Information on Aboriginal language programs is requested by type of Aboriginal language (immersion, as language of instruction, as a subject taught) and by grade. Finally, data on special needs education are collected by type of disability (sensory, physical and intellectual disabilities -- low incidence disabilities, learning disabilities and behavioural disabilities -- high incidence disabilities, to compensate for the socio-economic status (SES) or other disadvantages), type of class (regular, special) and by sex. The survey also collects data on secondary school graduates by type of program (regular, upgrading and professional), sector (youth and adult), age and sex. Graduation counts rates can be produced from this data. Information pertaining to full-time and part-time educators by age group and sex is also collected. Finally, ESESP also gathers expenditures data pertaining to level of government (school board and other government) and type of expenditures. This data is collected to determine how much is spent in relative detail by school boards and by provincial/territorial total. It also collects expenditures on special needs education programs. The information on elementary-secondary education statistics is used by provincial and territorial departments or ministries of education, national and provincial teachers' and students' associations, school boards, journalists and researchers, as well as international bodies such as OECD and UNESCO. ESESP was first introduced by Statistics Canada in 2003. The goal of this pilot project is to replace the following surveys as the official collection tools for elementary-secondary enrolments, graduates, educators and finance data: Elementary-Secondary School Enrolment Survey (ESSE -- Survey #3128), Minority and Second Language Education -- Elementary and Secondary Levels Survey (Survey #3129), Secondary School Graduates Survey (SSGS -- Survey #5082), Elementary-Secondary Education Staff Survey (ESESS -- Survey #3127)中小学教育统计项目（Elementary-Secondary Education Statistics Project，简称ESESP）是一项全国性试点调查，旨在助力加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）发布加拿大公立中小学的入学人数、毕业生规模、教育工作者配置及经费相关统计信息。此类信息主要用于满足中小学教育领域的政策制定与规划需求。ESESP每年从各辖区收集汇总统计数据。具体而言，入学人数相关信息涵盖以下四类教育项目：常规教育、少数民族与第二语言教育、原住民语言教育以及特殊需求教育。常规教育项目的信息按项目类型（常规、进修、职业）、教育群体（青年或成人）、年级及性别进行采集。针对少数民族与第二语言教育项目的信息，则按项目类型（沉浸式教学、作为授课语言、作为授课科目）及年级进行采集。原住民语言教育项目的信息按原住民语言类型（沉浸式教学、作为授课语言、作为授课科目）及年级进行采集。最后，特殊需求教育的数据按残疾类型（感官残疾、肢体残疾与智力残疾——低发残疾；学习障碍与行为障碍——高发残疾；用于弥补社会经济地位（Socio-Economic Status，SES）或其他劣势的情形）、班级类型（常规班级、特殊班级）及性别进行采集。该调查还按项目类型（常规、进修、职业）、群体（青年与成人）、年龄及性别采集中学毕业生相关数据。依托该数据集可计算毕业人数与毕业率。调查同时采集按年龄组与性别划分的全职、兼职教育工作者相关信息。此外，ESESP还采集按政府层级（学校董事会与其他政府部门）及支出类型划分的经费开支数据。收集此类数据用于详细核算学校董事会及各省级/地区的总体支出情况。该调查同时采集特殊需求教育项目的经费开支数据。中小学教育统计相关信息可服务于省级/地区教育部门、全国及省级教师与学生协会、学校董事会、新闻工作者与研究人员，以及经济合作与发展组织（Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development，OECD）、联合国教育、科学及文化组织（United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization，UNESCO）等国际机构的相关工作。ESESP于2003年由加拿大统计局首次推出。该试点项目的目标是替代以下四项调查，成为中小学入学人数、毕业生规模、教育工作者配置及经费数据的官方采集工具：中小学入学调查（Elementary-Secondary School Enrolment Survey，简称ESSE，调查编号#3128）、中小学层次少数民族与第二语言教育调查（调查编号#3129）、中学毕业生调查（Secondary School Graduates Survey，简称SSGS，调查编号#5082）以及中小学教职工调查（Elementary-Secondary Education Staff Survey，简称ESESS，调查编号#3127）。
