Introduction
The Report Card on British Columbia’s Secondary
Schools collects a variety of relevant, objective indicators of school performance into one easily accessible, public document so that all interested parties— parents, school administrators, teachers, students, and taxpayers—can analyze and compare the performance of individual schools. Parents use the Report Card ’s indicator values, ratings, and rankings to compare schools when they choose an education provider for their children. Parents and school administrators use the results to identify areas of academic performance in which improvement can be made.

boards, and individual schools. In addition, a sound academic program should be complemented by effective programs in areas of school activity not measured by the Report Card. Nevertheless, the Report Card provides a detailed picture of each school that is not easily available elsewhere.

The Report Card facilitates school improvement
Certainly, the act of publicly rating and ranking schools attracts attention; attention can provide motivation. Schools that perform well or show consistent improvement are applauded. Poorly performing schools generate concern, as do those whose performance is deteriorating. This inevitable attention provides an incentive for all those connected with a school to focus on student results.
However, the Report Card offers more than motivation; it also offers opportunity. The Report Card includes a variety of indicators, each of which reports results for an aspect of school performance that might be improved. School administrators who are dedicated to improvement accept the Report Card as another source of opportunities for improvement.

The Report Card helps parents choose
Where parents can choose among several schools for their children, the Report Card provides a valuable tool for making a decision. Because it makes comparisons easy, the Report Card alerts parents to those nearby schools that appear to have more effective academic programs. Parents can also determine whether schools of interest are improving over time. By first studying the Report Card, parents will be better prepared to ask relevant questions when they interview the principal and teachers at the schools under consideration.
Of course, the choice of a school should not be made solely on the basis of any one source of information. Families choosing a school for their students should seek to confirm the Report Card’s findings by visiting the school and interviewing teachers and school administrators. Parents who already have a child enrolled at the school can provide another point of view. Useful information may also be found on the web sites of the ministry of education, local school

Some schools do better than others
To improve a school, one must believe that improvement is achievable. This Report Card provides evidence about what can be accomplished. It demonstrates clearly that, even when we take into account factors such as the students’ family backgrounds, which some believe dictate the degree of academic success that students will have in school, some schools do better than others. This finding confirms the results of

research carried out in other countries.1 Indeed, it will come as no great surprise to experienced parents and educators that the data consistently suggest that what goes on in the schools makes a difference to academic results and that some schools make more of a difference than others.

Comparisons are at the heart of the improvement process
Comparative and historical data enable parents and school administrators to gauge their school’s effectiveness more accurately. By comparing a school’s latest results with those of earlier years, they can see if the school is improving. By comparing a school’s results with those of neighbouring schools and of schools with similar school and student characteristics, they can identify more successful schools and learn from them.
Reference to overall provincial results places an individual school’s level of achievement in a broader context.
There is great benefit in identifying schools that are particularly effective. By studying the techniques used in schools where students are successful, less effective schools may find ways to improve.

Comparisons are at the heart of improvement: making comparisons among schools is made simpler and more meaningful by the Report Card’s indicators, ratings, and rankings.

Key academic indicators of school performance
Three indicators of effective teaching

The foundation of the Report Card is an overall rating of each school’s academic performance. Building on data about student results provided by the Ministry of Education,1 we rate each school on a scale from zero to 10. We base our overall rating of each school’s academic performance on seven indicators:

1 Average mandatory examination marks
This indicator (in the tables Average exam mark) is the average percentage achieved by a school’s students on the grade-10, grade-11, and grade-12 final examinations in all of the courses that include a mandatory provincial exam.2 For each school, the indicator is the average of the mean scores achieved by the school’s students in each of these mandatory examinations at all sittings during the year, weighted by the relative number of students who wrote the examination.
Examinations are designed to achieve a distribution of results reflecting the differences in students’ mastery of the course work. Differences among students in interests, abilities, motivation, and work-habits will inevitably have some impact upon the final results. There are, however, recognizable differences from school to school within a district in the average results on the provincial examinations. There is also variation within schools in the results obtained in different subject areas. Such differences in outcomes cannot be wholly explained by the individual and family characteristics of the school’s students. It seems reasonable, therefore, to include the average examination mark for each school as one indicator of effective teaching.

(1) the average exam mark in the grade-10, grade-11, and grade-12 courses that include a mandatory provincial exam;
(2) percentage of grade-10, grade-11, and grade-12 mandatory provincial examinations failed;
(3) average difference between the school mark and the examination mark in the courses considered in (1) and (2) above;
(4) average difference between male and female students in their exam mark in English 10;
(5) average difference between male and female students in their exam mark in Mathematics 10;
(6) graduation rate;
(7) delayed advancement rate.

2 Percentage of provincial examinations failed For each school, this indicator (in the tables Percentage of exams failed) provides the rate of failure (as a percentage) in the grade-10, grade-11, and grade-12 mandatory provincial examinations. It was derived by dividing the sum, for each school, of all the mandatory provincial examinations written where a

We have selected this set of indicators because they provide systematic insight into a school’s performance. Because they are based on annually generated data, we can assess not only each school’s performance in a year but also its improvement or deterioration over time.

failing grade was awarded by the total number of such examinations written by the students of that school.
In part, effective teaching can be measured by the ability of the students to pass any uniform examination that is a requirement for successful completion of a course. Schools have the responsibility of preparing their students to pass these final examinations.

3 Difference between school mark and examination mark
For each school, this indicator (in the tables School vs exam mark difference) gives the average amount (for all grade-10, grade-11, and grade-12 courses with a mandatory provincial exam) by which the “school” mark—the assessment of each student’s learning that is made by the school—exceeds the exam mark in that course.3
Effective teaching includes regular testing so that students may be aware of their progress. For such assessment to be useful, it must accurately reflect the student’s understanding of the course. As a systematic policy, inflation of school-awarded grades will be counterproductive. Students who believe they are already successful when they are not will be less likely to invest the extra effort needed to master the course material. In the end, they will be poorer for not having achieved the level of understanding that they could have gained through additional study.
The effectiveness of school-based assessments can be determined by a comparison to external assessments of the students. In each course that includes a mandatory provincial examination, the Ministry of Education, the same authority that designed the course, administers a uniform examination. This examination will test the students’ knowledge of the material contained in the course. If the marks assigned by the school are a reasonably accurate reflection of students’ understanding, they should be roughly the same as the mark gained on the provincial examination. Thus, if a school has accurately assessed a student as consistently working at a C+ level, the student’s examination result will be at a similar level. If, however, a school is consistently granting marks substantially higher than those

achieved by its students on the final examinations, then the school is not providing an accurate indicator of the extent to which knowledge of the course material is being acquired.

An indicator of consistency in teaching and assessment
The Gender gap indicators

Research4 has shown systematic sex-based differences in academic results in British Columbia’s secondary schools. However, the same research found that
“there appears to be no compelling evidence that girls and boys should, given effective teaching and counselling, experience differential rates of success.” 5
Further, “[t]he differences described by each indicator vary from school to school over a considerable range of values.” 6
The Gender gap indicators measure the difference, if any, in the average exam marks in Mathematics
10 and English 10 for boys and girls. The indicator reports the size of the difference and the more successful sex.

Two indicators of practical, well-informed counselling
While they are attending secondary school, students must make a number of decisions of considerable significance about their education. Once they have reached the age of 16, for instance, they are at liberty to continue or end their educational program.7
Before grade 10, they are required to choose between different streams in Mathematics. They will annually decide whether to begin or continue the study of a second language.
Will these young people make good decisions? It is unrealistic to presume that they can do so without advice. What practical, well-informed counselling can they call upon? While parents, in the main, are willing to help, many lack the information they need to be able to provide good advice. It falls, therefore, to the

Fraser Institute Studies in Education Policy

schools to shoulder some responsibility for advising students and their parents about educational choices.
The final two indicators used in the calculation of the Overall rating out of 10 assess the counsel given by the schools by measuring the quality of the decisions taken by the students about their education.
Of course, wise students will seek guidance not only from the counsellors designated by the schools but also from teachers and administrators, parents, and other relatives. Where students have strong support from family and community, the school’s responsibility for counselling may be lighter; where students do not have such strong support, the school’s role may be more challenging. These indicators measure the school’s success in using the tools at its disposal to help students make good decisions about their education.
Of the decisions that senior students must make, perhaps the most important is the decision to remain in school, do the work, and graduate with their class.
Effective counselling will encourage students to make appropriate choices.

1 Delayed advancement rate
This indicator measures the extent to which schools keep their students in school and progressing in a timely manner toward completion of their graduation program. It uses data that report the educational status of students one year after they have enrolled in a given grade at a school in British Columbia.
For example, we can determine from these data how many of a school’s grade-10 students re-enroll in the following year in grade 11; are enrolled in grade 10 for a second time; or fail to re-enroll. With these raw data, following a technique that we introduced to Canada in the Report Card on Quebec’s Secondary
Schools, 2001 Edition,8 we calculate a statistic that will answer the question, “Based on this single year’s school results, what is the likelihood that a student entering grade 10 at the school will graduate in the normal three-year period?”
The indicator is calculated as follows. For each school, for each of grades 10, 11, and 12, a rate of successful transition is determined by first summing

7

the number of students who either graduate in the current school year or re-enroll in a higher grade in the following year and then dividing that sum by the number of students enrolled in the grade in the current year. Then, for each grade, a dropout rate is determined by subtracting the rate of successful transition from 1. Each of the three dropout rates is then reduced by the grade-8 dropout rate at the school to produce a net dropout rate for each grade. We have adopted the grade-8 drop-out rate as an estimate of the “involuntary” drop-out rate caused by events such as emigration or death that lead to the disappearance of students from the school system.
The Delayed advancement rate indicator can now be calculated. The complement of the net dropout rates (1 – net drop-out rate) for grades 10 through 12 is determined and their product is calculated. This three-year composite successful transition rate is then subtracted from 1 to produce the Delayed advancement rate indicator that appears in the detailed tables.
Where a school does not enroll grade-8 students, the net dropout rate is calculated using the weighted average grade-8 dropout rate for all the schools in the relevant school district. Where a school does not enroll grade-10 or grade-11 students, no Delayed advancement rate can be calculated. The relative weighting in the calculation of the Overall rating out of 10 that is given to this and the other indicators is explained in the Appendix.

2 Graduation rate
This indicator, related to the Delayed advancement rate, compares the number of students eligible to graduate enrolled in the school on September 30 with the number of students who actually graduate by the end of the same school year. Only those enrollees who are capable of graduating with their class within the current school year are included in the count of eligible graduates. Graduation from secondary school retains considerable value since it increases options for post-secondary education. Further, graduates from secondary school who decide to enter the work force immediately will, on average, find more job opportunities

8

Report Card on British Columbia’s Secondary Schools 2014

than those who have not graduated. By completing the 11 years of schooling in preparation for the final secondary school year, students have already demonstrated a reasonable ability to handle the basic courses offered by the school. Moreover, for the majority of students, the minimum requirements for graduation are not onerous. The chance that students will not graduate solely because they are unable to meet the intellectual demands of the curriculum is, therefore, relatively small.
Nevertheless, the graduation rate varies quite widely from school to school throughout the province. While there are factors not related to education—emigration from the province, sickness, death, and the like—that can affect the data, there is no reason to expect these factors to influence particular schools systematically. Accordingly, we take variations in the graduation rate to be an indicator of the extent to which students are being well coached in their educational choices.

In general, how is the school doing academically?
The Overall rating out of 10
While each of the indicators is important, it is almost always the case that a school does better on some indicators than on others. So, just as a teacher must make a decision about a student’s overall performance, we need an overall indicator of school performance (in the tables Overall rating out of 10).
Just as teachers combine test scores, homework, and class participation to rate a student, we have combined all the indicators to produce an overall school rating. The overall rating of school performance answers the question, “In general, how is the school doing, academically compared to others in the Report Card?”
To derive this rating, the results for each of the indicators for each school year were first standardized. Standardization is a statistical procedure whereby sets of raw data with different characteristics are converted into sets of values with “standard” sta-

tistical properties. Standardized values can readily be combined and compared.
The standardized data were then combined as required to produce seven standardized scores— one for each indicator—for each school, for each year.
The standardized scores were weighted and combined to produce an overall standardized score. Finally, this score was converted into an overall rating out of 10.
It is from this Overall rating out of 10 that the school’s provincial rank is determined. For schools teaching only one sex, there are, of course, no results for the
Gender gap indicators. In these cases, the Overall rating is derived using the remaining seven indicators.
(See the Appendix for an explanation of the calculation of the Overall rating out of 10.)
Finally, note that the Overall rating out of 10, based as it is on standardized scores, is a relative rating. That is, in order for a school to show improvement in its overall rating, it must improve more than the average. If it improves, but at a rate less than the average, it will show a decline in its rating.

Other indicators of school performance
Since the inception of the Report Card, we have added other indicators that, while they are not used to derive the Overall rating out of 10, add more information about a school’s effectiveness.

the Overall rating: the average parental income from wages, salaries, and unemployment. When a school had higher income parents, the Overall rating at the school was likely to be higher.1
As a measure of the success with which each school took into account the socioeconomic characteristics of the student body, we used the formula derived from the regression analysis to predict the Overall rating for each school. We then reported the difference (in the tables Actual rating vs predicted rating based on parents’ avg. inc.) between the actual Overall rating and this predicted value in each school’s results table.
For example, during the 2011/2012 school year,
School A achieved an Overall rating of 7.3 and yet, when the average parental income of the student body is taken into account, the school was expected to achieve a rating of only about 5.6. The difference of 1.7 is reported in the tables. On the other hand, the actual Overall rating of School B was 5.0, although its predicted rating was 5.9. The reported difference for School B is -0.9. This measurement suggests that School A is more successful than
School B in enabling all of its students to reach their potential. This measure of the effect of the socioeconomic background of a school’s student body is presented with two important notes of caution. First, only about 25% of the variation among BC schools in the overall rating is associated with average parental income. Clearly, many other factors—including good teaching, counselling, and school administration— contribute to the effectiveness of schools. Second, the statistical measures used describe past relationships between a socioeconomic characteristic and a measure of school effectiveness. These relationships may not remain static. The more effectively the school

The Socioeconomic indicator
(Note: Certain data required to produce this indicator were not available for the 2012/2013 school year. The indicator will be included in the next edition of this report card.)
When they design their lesson plans and deliver the curriculum, educators can and should take into account the abilities, interests, and backgrounds of their students. By doing so, educators can overcome disadvantages that their students may have. The socioeconomic indicator enables us to identify schools that are successful despite adverse conditions faced by their students at home. Similarly, it identifies schools where students with a relatively positive home situation appear not to be reaching their presumed potential. The socioeconomic indicator was derived as follows. First, using enrollment data from the Ministry of Education sorted by Dissemination Area (a census geography) and 2006 census data provided by
Statistics Canada, we established a profile of the student body’s home characteristics for each of the schools in the Report Card. We then used multiple regression analysis to determine which of the home characteristics were associated with variations in school performance as measured by the Overall rating out of 10. Taking into account all of the socioeconomic variables simultaneously, we identified one characteristic that was significantly associated with
10

enables all of its students to succeed, the weaker will be the relationship between the home characteristics of its students and their academic success. Thus, this socioeconomic indicator should not be used as an excuse or rationale for poor school performance. The effective school will produce good results, regardless of the family background of its students.

The Student characteristics indicators For each public school, the Report Card notes the percentage of its students who are enrolled in ESL

programs, in French Immersion programs, or who have identified special needs. As was noted in the introduction, it is sometimes useful to compare a school’s results to those of similar schools. These three indicators can be used to identify schools with similar student-body characteristics.

This statistic compares the school’s actual Overall rating out of 10 with the rating that is predicted by the average parental employment income in each student’s family. A positive difference suggests that the school is effective in enabling its students to succeed regardless of their family’s characteristics.

I—Graduation rate

C (right)—Academic ranking

The estimated percentage of the school’s grade-10 students who will not complete grade 12 within three years. Low Delayed advancement rates indicate that the school’s students are likely to complete the last three grades of secondary school in the normal time.

The school’s overall academic rank in the province for
2012/2013 and for the most recent five years. These rankings show how the school has done academically compared to the other schools in the Report Card.
A high ranking over five years indicates consistently strong results at the school.

D—Average exam mark
The average provincial mark (%) achieved by the school’s students in all the grade-10, grade-11, and grade12 courses in which the provincial exam is mandatory.

E—Percentage of exams failed
The percentage of all the mandatory grade-10, grade-11, and grade-12 provincial examinations written by students at the school that received a failing grade.

F—School vs exam mark difference
The average difference (in percentage points) between the mark awarded by the school and the provincial examination mark in all the courses in which the provincial exam is mandatory. A large difference usually indicates that the school has been “inflating” grades.

G—English 10 gender gap
H—Math 10 gender gap
The difference (in percentage points) between boys’ and girls’ average exam marks in English 10 and
Foundations of Math and Pre-calculus 10. Where the difference favours girls, the value is preceded by an F; where the difference favours boys, the value is preceded by an M. An E means that there is no difference between the girls and the boys on this measure.
Small differences indicate that the school is doing a good job for all its students.

The percentage of eligible graduates enrolled on
September 30 who actually graduate in the same school year. Higher rates of graduation indicate that the school is doing a good job of keeping students on track and focused on their work during their final year.

J—Delayed advancement rate

K—Overall rating out of 10
The Overall rating out of 10 takes into account the school’s performance on all of these indicators and answers the question, “In general, how is the school doing in academics compared to other schools in the
Report Card?”
Note that the Overall rating out of 10, based as it is on standardized scores, is a relative rating. That is, in order for a school to show improvement in its overall rating, it must improve at a greater rate than the average. If it improves, but at a rate less than the average, it will show a decline in its rating.

L—Trends
An upward-pointing arrow at the end of an indicator row means that the school is probably improving on that indicator. A downward-pointing arrow means that the school is probably getting worse.
The researchers had to be at least 90% sure that the changes were not just random before indicating a trend. A dash indicates that there is no significant change. Where insufficient data were available, “n/a” appears in the column. Note that for the two Gender gap indicators, Percentage of exams failed, School vs exam mark difference and Delayed advancement rate a downward trend in the data will lead to an upward-pointing arrow in the trend column. For example, decreasing Percentage of exams failed indicates improvement and so an upward-pointing arrow is displayed.

Note 6

Not all the province’s secondary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Of all the schools for which any mandatory provincial examination results were reported, this Report Card rated 293. Excluded are schools at which fewer than 10 students were enrolled in grade 12 and schools that did not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of 10. Also excluded from the ratings and rankings are: centres for adult education and continuing education; schools that cater largely to non-resident foreign students; and certain alternative schools that do not offer a full program of courses.
The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should not be construed as a judgement of the school’s effectiveness.

You can compare a school’s results with the all-schools results shown below.

How does your school stack up?
Important notes to the rankings

ate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of ten. Also excluded from the ratings and rankings are: centres for adult education and continuing education; schools that cater largely to non-resident foreign students; and certain alternative schools that do not offer a full program of courses.
The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should in no way be construed as a judgement of the school’s effectiveness.

In this table, schools are ranked (on the left hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to
293) according to their academic performance as measured by the Overall rating out of ten (shown on the right hand side of the table) for the school year
2012/2013. Each school’s five-year average ranking and Overall rating out of ten are also listed. The higher the overall rating (out of 10), the higher the rank awarded to the school. Where schools tied in the overall rating, they were awarded the same rank.
Where less than five years of data was available “n/a” appears in the table.
Not all the province’s secondary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Excluded are schools at which fewer than ten students were enrolled in grade 12 and schools that did not gener–––Rank–––

IMPORTANT: In order to get the most from the Report Card, readers should consult the complete table of results for each school of interest. By considering several years of results— rather than just a school’s rank in the most recent year—readers can get a better idea of how the school is likely to perform in the future.

Appendix: Calculating the Overall rating out of 10
The Overall rating out of 10 is intended to answer the question, “In general, how is the school doing, academically compared to other schools in the Report Card?” The following is a simplified description of the procedure used to convert the raw indicator data into the Overall rating out of 10.
1 The School vs exam mark difference for each course and the English and Mathematics Gender gap indicators were calculated using the raw data.
2 Course by course, all the results were then converted into standardized or “Z” scores by solving the equation
Z = (X – µ) / σ where X is the individual school’s result, µ is the mean of the all-schools distribution of results, and σ is the standard deviation of the same all-schools distribution.
3 With the exception of the Gender gap indicators (these use the results from a single course), the course-bycourse standardized data were then aggregated to produce weighted average indicator values. The weighting used was the number of examinations written in each course at the school relative to the total number of examinations written at the school.
4 These weighted average results were then re-standardized.
5 The seven standardized indicator results were then combined to produce a weighted average summary standardized score for the school. The weightings used in this calculation were Average exam mark—25%,
Percentage of exams failed—25%, School vs exam mark difference—13%, English gender gap—6%, Math gender gap—6%, Graduation rate—12.5%, and Delayed advancement rate—12.5%. For schools for which there were no gender-gap results because only boys or girls were enrolled, the School vs exam mark difference was weighted at 25%. Where no Delayed advancement rate could be calculated, the Graduation rate was weighted at 25%.
6 This summary standardized score was then standardized.
This standardized score was converted into an overall rating between 0 and 10 as follows:
7 The maximum and minimum standardized scores were set at 2.2 and –3.29 respectively. Scores equal to, or greater than 2.2 receive the highest overall rating of 10. This cut-off was chosen because it allows more than one school in a given year to be awarded 10 out of 10. Scores of equal to, or less than, −3.29 receive the lowest overall rating of 0. Schools with scores below −3.29 are likely to be outliers—a statistical term used to denote members of a population that appear to have characteristics substantially different from the rest of the
40

Fraser Institute Studies in Education Policy

41

population. We chose, therefore, to set the minimum score so as to disregard such extreme differences.
8 The resulting standardized scores were converted into Overall ratings according to the formula:
OR = µ +(σ * StanScore), where OR is the resulting Overall rating, µ is the average calculated according to the formula: µ = (ORmin – 10 (Zmin / Zmax)) / (1 – (Zmin / Zmax))

where σ is the standard deviation calculated according to the formula: σ = (10 – µ) / Zmax,

and StanScore is the standardized score calculated in (6) above and adjusted as required for minimum and maximum values as noted in (7) above. As noted in (7) above, ORmin equals zero, Zmin equals −3.29; and Zmax equals 2.2.
9 Finally, the derived Overall rating is rounded to one decimal place to reflect the significant number of places of the decimal in the original raw data.
Note that the Overall rating out of 10, based as it is on standardized scores, is a relative rating. That is, in order for a school to show improvement in its overall rating, it must improve more than the average. If it improves, but at a rate less than the average, it will show a decline in its rating.

Report Card on British Columbia’s Secondary Schools 2014

About the authors
Peter Cowley

Stephen T. Easton

Peter Cowley is the Senior Vice President, Operations and Director of School Performance Studies at the
Fraser Institute. He graduated from the University of British Columbia with a B.Comm. in 1974.
Shortly thereafter, he began a long career in marketing and general management in several sectors.
During his assignments in general management, process improvement was a special focus and interest. In 1994, Mr Cowley independently wrote and published The Parent’s Guide, a popular handbook for parents of British Columbia’s secondary-school students. The Parent’s Guide web site replaced the handbook in 1995. In 1998, Mr Cowley was coauthor of the Fraser Institute’s A Secondary Schools
Report Card for British Columbia, the first of the
Institute’s continuing series of annual reports on school performance. This was followed by The 1999
Report Card on British Columbia’s Secondary Schools,
Boys, Girls, and Grades: Academic Gender Balance in
British Columbia’s Secondary Schools, and The 1999
Report Card on Alberta’s High Schools. Since then, Mr
Cowley has co-authored all of the Institute’s annual
Report Cards. Annual editions now include Report
Cards on elementary and secondary schools in British
Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. He continues his research on education and related issues for the Fraser
Institute.

Stephen T. Easton is a professor of Economics at Simon
Fraser University and a Senior Scholar at the Fraser
Institute. He received his A.B. from Oberlin College and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Recent works published by the Fraser Institute include Privatizing
Prisons (editor, 1998), The Costs of Crime: Who Pays and
How Much? 1998 Update (with Paul Brantingham, 1998), and Rating Global Economic Freedom (editor, 1992). A co-author of A Secondary Schools Report Card for British
Columbia (1998), Boys, Girls, and Grades: Academic
Gender Balance in British Columbia’s Secondary Schools
(1999) and the Report Card on Aboriginal Education in
British Columbia (2004), he has continued to co-author the Report Cards of British Columbia, Alberta, New
Brunswick and, most recently, Ontario. Other publications about education include “Do We Have a Problem
Yet? Women and Men in Higher Education,” in David
Laidler (ed.), Renovating the Ivory Tower: Canadian
Universities and the Knowledge Economy (Toronto: C.D.
Howe Institute, 2002), pp. 60–79; “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” in Stephen B. Lawton, Rodney
Reed, and Fons van Wieringen, Restructuring Public
Schooling (Berlin: Springer-Verlag, 1997) and Education in Canada: An Analysis of Elementary, Secondary and
Vocational Schooling (Vancouver: the Fraser Institute,
1988). His editorials have been carried by the Vancouver
Sun, the Globe and Mail, the National Post, the Ottawa
Citizen, the Stirling chain and many other newspapers around the country.

Purpose, funding, & independence
The Fraser Institute provides a useful public service.
We report objective information about the economic and social effects of current public policies, and we offer evidence-based research and education about policy options that can improve the quality of life.
The Institute is a non-profit organization. Our activities are funded by charitable donations, unrestricted grants, ticket sales, and sponsorships from events, the licensing of products for public distribution, and the sale of publications.
All research is subject to rigorous review by external experts, and is conducted and published separately from the Institute’s Board of Trustees and its donors.
The opinions expressed by the authors are those

of the individuals themselves, and do not necessarily reflect those of the Institute, its Board of Trustees, its donors and supporters, or its staff. This publication in no way implies that the Fraser Institute, its trustees, or staff are in favour of, or oppose the passage of, any bill; or that they support or oppose any particular political party or candidate.
As a healthy part of public discussion among fellow citizens who desire to improve the lives of people through better public policy, the Institute welcomes evidence-focused scrutiny of the research we publish, including verification of data sources, replication of analytical methods, and intelligent debate about the practical effects of policy recommendations.

About the Fraser Institute
Our vision is a free and prosperous world where individuals benefit from greater choice, competitive markets, and personal responsibility. Our mission is to measure, study, and communicate the impact of competitive markets and government interventions on the welfare of individuals.
Founded in 1974, we are an independent Canadian research and educational organization with locations throughout North America and international partners in over 85 countries. Our work is financed by tax-deductible contributions from thousands of indi-

viduals, organizations, and foundations. In order to protect its independence, the Institute does not accept grants from government or contracts for research.
Nous envisageons un monde libre et prospère, où chaque personne bénéficie d’un plus grand choix, de marchés concurrentiels et de responsabilités individuelles. Notre mission consiste à mesurer, à étudier et à communiquer l’effet des marchés concurrentiels et des interventions gouvernementales sur le bien-être des individus.

Peer review—validating the accuracy of our research
The Fraser Institute maintains a rigorous peer review process for its research. New research, major research projects, and substantively modified research conducted by the Fraser Institute are reviewed by a minimum of one internal expert and two external experts.
Reviewers are expected to have a recognized expertise in the topic area being addressed. Whenever possible, external review is a blind process.
Commentaries and conference papers are reviewed by internal experts. Updates to previously reviewed research or new editions of previously reviewed research are not reviewed unless the

update includes substantive or material changes in the methodology.
The review process is overseen by the directors of the Institute’s research departments who are responsible for ensuring all research published by the Institute passes through the appropriate peer review. If a dispute about the recommendations of the reviewers should arise during the Institute’s peer review process, the Institute has an Editorial
Advisory Board, a panel of scholars from Canada, the
United States, and Europe to whom it can turn for help in resolving the dispute.
