Post-Secondary Education Data

Question

I have a faculty member who would like the some of the Statistics Canada data that is in CAUT's Almanac of Post-Secondary Education 2006: http://www.caut.ca/en/publications/almanac/default.asp.
They have 2003/04 data in this issue; he would like more recent, if possible. He is specifically interested in the data in tables 4.6, 4.5, and 2.12.

Answer

When I visited the site in question, I noticed that the most recent data is 2004/2005 - which is the most recent information available at Statistics Canada as well.

You may need to do a little digging, but these tables could conceivably be reconstructed using the data we have listed under Education
(http://www.statcan.ca/english/Dli/Data/Ftp/education.htm)

This collection is very recent for the DLI. The division has been very generous in sharing this data with us as it is not a standard product. They also have a very neat system within the Excel sheet - it has a similar function to Beyond 20/20 in that pivot tables are available.
