Comment:
For all levels of schooling attained and for all three groups of
schools attended, a higher proportion of adult males are full-time attenders
than females, except for those with a university education who are attending a
non-university, post-secondary institution. In this group a higher proportion
of women attend than men.
Men are more likely to be full-time attenders than women.
In general, the proportions of non-attenders are higher among
those with only elementary or secondary education when compared to those with
post-secondary education. Among those with post-secondary education, those with
only non-university education are more likely to be non-attenders than those
with university education. Those with the most education are the most likely to
attend schools full-time. |
