A few diagrams containing data for 1973 and 1974 have been added to this latest edition of the 1972 financial statistics for Canadian elementary and secondary education. Otherwise, however, the report has not undergone any major modifications. The booklet consists of two parts. The first part examines the highlights of the report, while the second part presents the actual statistical tables. Included in the report are data on total expenditures by source of funds, federal and provincial expenditures for the 1972-73 fiscal year, the finance of school boards for the 1972 calendar year, and revenue and expenditures of private schools and kindergartens for the 1972-73 school year. All financial statistics are presented by province, except in the case of private schools and kindergartens, where the Atlantic Provinces are grouped together for the purpose of confidentiality.
