The better informed policy-makers are about Canada’s education system, the more improvements can be made. CASA first adopted a policy to create a pan-Canadian data set in November 2007 and successfully lobbied the federal government to initiate a serious process aimed at creating just that. Following many consultations with CASA and other stakeholder groups, the federal government established the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program in 2007. CASA was pleased to see that many of our recommendations had been included in the program.
