If you like statistics,

A decade of statistics release by the Ministry of Education. Despite the iffy FSA, provincial exam, and “satisfaction” data there are a number of other comparisons that you may find interesting.

Compared to a decade ago there are now:
· 159 fewer public schools

· 8 fewer independent schools

· 2660 fewer teachers (-7.3%)

· 75 more administrators (+2.4%)


And, while the percentage of female teachers has increased only slightly from 68% to 71%, the percentage of female administrators has increased from 41% to 52%.
