Statistics Canada has released a summary of the results of its Elementary-Secondary Education Survey. They report that from 2022/2023 to 2023/2024, enrolment in Canadian public schools increased by 2.3% amid a Canadian population increase of 3.2%. On the front of interprovincial migration, Alberta (3.6%) recorded larger enrolments stemming from this phenomenon while Ontario saw much of the enrolment growth from immigration offset by out-migration. French immersion and minority language enrolments continued their decline in most provinces and territories from peaks in 2020/2021. Compared to 2018/2019, the number of educators rose by 5.2% across the country and the proportion of educators working at 55 years of age or older rose from 12.9% to 13.8%.
