Post-Secondary Education Indicators Project
Saskatchewan's post-secondary institutions and the Ministry of Advanced Education are working together to develop and implement the Post-Secondary Education Indicators Project to collect, analyze and report sector-wide post-secondary data.
Along with the ministry, the project is led by the province's four public credential-granting institutions: the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT). While the majority of students take their classes on the main campuses of these four institutions, data also includes programming offered at Saskatchewan's federated and regional colleges, and at Dumont Technical Institute. Reports from the project cover all students enrolled in credentialed programming (i.e. degree, diploma or certificate programs) through the province's public post-secondary institutions.
You can now view Post-Secondary Education Indicators on Saskatchewan's Dashboard under the Education and Learning tab.
