Post-Secondary Education Drivers, 2004 [Canada]

A national, representative sample of 1,000 parents with at least one child aged 12-17 was interviewed in November 2003. The purpose of the project was to provide the Foundation with a better understanding of how families perceive and prepare for the postsecondary education options of their children.

In this report, COMPAS reports relationships that are valid in a statistically significant sense. Unless the report specifically says that a relationship or difference is nominal or suggestive rather than statistically significant, any observation of a relationship can be assumed to meet the requirements of statistical significance. For example, COMPAS tested each demographic variable against all perceptual questions.
