About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades K to 5 who have a parent that spends some time reading on most days (except for work). Survey responses are provided by the parent.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades 4-5

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "less than 30 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 1 hour and 30 min, 2 hours, or 3 hours or more" by the number of respondents who answered "none, less than 30 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 1 hour and 30 min, 2 hours, or 3 hours or more" to the question: "On most days (except for working hours) how much time do you spend reading (not for work)?".

Notes

The 2019-2020 edition of this survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the number of schools that participated is much lower than other editions of the survey, results at the provincial level were deemed not representative of the total student population. Therefore, survey results for New Brunswick, health zones and demographic groups are not available for the 2019-2020 edition. However, results are available for communities in which the number of participating schools was deemed sufficient to be representative of the student population in that community.
