The report, consisting of tabular compilations and interpretations of adult data from the 1971 Canadian Census, is presented for the interest and use of adult educators. The data, based on a one-third sample of the total population, pertains to the educational and training levels of British Columbia's adult population. The census showed that 7.5% of the adult population had less than a fifth grade education. Levels of schooling tended to be higher in urban than in rural areas; 35.7% of rural adults compared to 27.4% of urban adults had less than a ninth grade level education. A wide range of schooling was indicated for the members of 11 ethnic groups. A total of 260,275 persons or 16.5% of persons aged 15 and over had completed a vocational course, which represented a higher rate of training than in any other Canadian province. The largest number of adults had completed courses in fields classified as office and secretarial; manufacturing, assembling, and repairing; health; and service. The highest rate of vocational course completion was in the 25-34 age group and for those who had attended grade 13. (EA)
