Educational attainment of adults 25-64, Canada and provinces
Annual educational attainment of the population aged 25 to 64, from Statistics Canada table 37-10-0130-01: the share of the population (percent) whose highest credential is below upper secondary, upper secondary / post-secondary non-tertiary, or tertiary (ISCED-2011 levels, OECD-harmonized, so the three headline shares sum to ~100%). Canada and the 13 provinces and territories, broken down by age group (25-64 total and 25-34) and gender (total, men+, women+), 2000 to 2025. Small territorial samples carry higher sampling variability — values are published as-is. Released each March.

| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| date | date | Reference period of the observation (the WDS Datapoint 'refPer' field), mapped to the first day of the year for these annual tables. For the tuition dataset the WDS labels each academic year by its starting calendar year (2026-01-01 means the 2026/2027 academic year). |
| series_id | string | Statistics Canada vector identifier for the series (the WDS 'vectorId', prefixed with 'v', e.g. 'v96320852'). Vectors are the stable public identifiers printed on StatCan tables. |
| series_label | string | Official English series title from WDS Series Info: geography, then the level of study (tuition) or the attainment level, age group and gender (attainment), e.g. 'Ontario;International undergraduate' or 'Canada;Tertiary education;25 to 34 years;Women+'. |
| unit | string | Unit of measure from StatCan's own UOM code set: 'current dollars' for the tuition dataset (weighted-average fees), 'percent' for the attainment dataset (share of the population). |
| value | float | Observation value as published by Statistics Canada, with no transformation. May be null where StatCan published no value (e.g. Yukon tuition in early years); missing values are never imputed. |
