Educational Attainment of Off-Reserve Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Adults in Canada

Pan Canadian Education Indicators Program data compares educational attainment for off-reserve Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations aged 25 to 64. The table covers Canada, its provinces, and territories, providing indicators for comparisons over time and across jurisdictions. It is produced by the Canadian Education Statistics Council, a partnership between Statistics Canada and the Council of Ministers of Education.
