Student Outcomes 2012 Demographic Profile. Fact Sheet
BC Student Outcomes
The BC Student Outcomes Survey Project collects information from approximately 30,000 former post-secondary students annually. In 2012, four surveys were conducted with students who completed the following studies: (1) diploma, associate degree, and certificate programs; (2) baccalaureate programs; (3) apprenticeship technical training; and (4) courses in Adult Basic Education (ABE) or English as a Second Language (ESL). The results from these surveys are presented in this fact sheet. Highlighted findings include: (1) A majority of former post-secondary students were women; (2) Overall, a majority of the former students surveyed were born in Canada, although there were differences; almost all of those who took ESL courses were born outside Canada; (3) Of all Student Outcomes respondents who were born in Canada, 6% identified themselves as Aboriginal persons; and (4) At the time of their studies, the majority of those who were born outside of Canada were naturalized Canadian citizens.
