This report is based on the Access and Support to Education and Training Survey (ASETS), which was undertaken by Statistics Canada in partnership with Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC). The ASETS brings together three previous education surveys that covered specific population groups: (1) the Survey of Approaches to Educational Planning (SAEP), which focused on 0 to 18 year olds; (2) the Post-Secondary Education Participation Survey (PEPS), which focused on 18 to 24 year olds; and (3) the Adult Education and Training Survey (AETS), which focused on 25 to 65 year olds. While these three surveys examined specific facets of Canadians' educational experience, their integration in the ASETS allows for a more holistic approach to collecting information on participation in and financing of education and training in Canada. While the ASETS can be used to undertake the same research as the PEPS, AETS and SAEP, it can also be used to address additional research not previously possible. The ASETS results presented in this report refer to activities undertaken in the July 2007 and June 2008 reference period.
