The goal of this document, prepared by the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL), is to examine how Canada’s approach to higher education compares with other leading developed countries and how well its postsecondary education sector can respond to a fast-changing global environment.
The authors note that First Nations, Inuit and Métis people have long advocated for learning that reflects their traditions and values but, at the same time, want a Western education that can equip them to participate fully in Canadian society. This document reports on the progress of a cooperative initiative aimed at redefining learning success in this context.
In this report, the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL) has, for the first time, been able to offer literacy projections for Canada’s four largest cities: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa. Prior to this, the CCL’s free online program Projections of Adult Literacy – Measurement Movement (PALMM) was capable of offering projection only on a national, provincial and territorial basis.
The authors of this report say that while Canadians have made great strides toward building a culture of lifelong learning, there is no room for complacency.

The Composite Learning Index (CLI) is an annual measure of Canada’s progress in lifelong learning, based on statistical indicators that reflect the many ways Canadians learn.
This document aims to provide the most current information on the Canadian learning landscape, to paint a picture of how Canadians are faring as lifelong learners. The document also includes highlights from the report on the State of Aboriginal Learning in Canada: A Holistic Approach to Measuring Success (2009), which was the first application of a comprehensive approach to measuring Aboriginal Learning in Canada.
