How strongly do Canada’s university systems perform?

What is the relationship between performance and cost? In our full report, we assemble 34 indicators of university performance, organized into three sub-components: access, value to students and value to society. Now it’s your turn. Here you may select them all or choose your own custom subset from our indicators, in the bubble chart explore performance relative to money spent and compare performance across the country in the map view.

This type of analysis is not possible for colleges and trades because comparable financial data is not available. However, a breakdown of each province's performance is available by selecting from the Colleges or Trades menus.
