Education Survey

Question

I have a researcher who is in the process of putting a proposal together, but has some questions regarding availability of some surveys:

1 - University Student Information System - which I believe is now called the Enhanced Student Information System

2 - Post-Secondary Education Participation Survey (PEPS)

3 - NGS2000 - will there be another round of this survey in the future?

Answers and Responses

1. Statistics Canada response:

1) ESIS is not available to the DLI. If your user wants access, it will be a custom tabulation from the division at a cost (unless he/she can find the data in a report).

2)PEPS is not available to the DLI. If your user wants access, it will be a custom tabulation from the division at a cost (unless he/she can find the data in a report).

3) NGS2000 microdata, should be released by the end of the 2006 fiscal year, but this is very tentative and the release date will more than likely be delayed.

2. These are the titles listed as being part of the RDC:

I did not see any mention of PEPS and ESIS. The question would best be answered by the RDC program itself though
(http://www.statcan.ca/english/rdc/network.htm).

3. NGS2000 PUMP is hopefully going to be released by the end of the fiscal year. The 5-year follow-up to the 2000 graduates is on-going and will be released. When is unknown at this time, but pls. tell your client that NGS is an on-going survey and data is released periodically.
