This information is part of the Office of Resource Planning's Student Population Forecast project. The goal of this project is to develop an information base to support planning of our student recruitment and retention efforts.

Charts and Tables

The following information sheets show K-12 student enrolment counts, by grade, for the current (2005/06) school year for Regina (Tables 1 and 2) and the Province (Table 1 only). These illustrate the dramatic drop in graduating High School students that will occur over the next decade. This trend in Regina echoes a similar trend in the province as a whole. Of note is that the actual drop-off in the number of High School graduates will be greater than shown in this table, since normal attrition between grades (i.e. "drop outs") has not been accounted for.

Maps

The following maps were produced for the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE). The first map shows where students taking non-credit courses through CCE are coming from within the City of Regina. The second map provides demographic information based on income that can be cross-referenced with the student distribution map. Additional reference maps showing population distributions for selected age cohorts were also produced for CCE.

Enrolment Trends

According to Statistics Canada's most recent figures, Canada's elementary and secondary school enrolments fell by 1.2% between the 1997-1998 and the 2003-2004 school years, and further declines are expected over the next few years as the school-age population decreases. The current issue of /Lessons in Learning/* examines the challenges and opportunities posed by these trends.
