Today, Statistics Canada launches a new free online publication called Education Matters: Insights on Education, Learning and Training in Canada. This publication, which will be released every two months, is a source of summary information on issues relating to education, training and learning, as well as a key point of access to data and analytical output relating to education. Each edition of Education Matters will contain two articles, which explore a range of issues relating to education and learning, and which summarize findings reported in research papers and provide links to those papers.
The articles in today's inaugural issue are titled "Literacy Counts" and "Distance as a Post-secondary Access Issue." The publication also links electronically to a wide variety of data, news on education, learning resources and tables, charts and analysis. In short, it will be an invaluable research tool for policy analysts, researchers, academics and journalists and a key source of information for teachers, parents and others with a keen interest in education issues.
