Common use of Personal profile across time Clause in Contracts

Personal profile across time. As Table 8 shows, the personal characteristics of students who participated in the 2013 survey are mostly similar, with a few exceptions. ► Prior to 2007, the average age of first-year students was closer to 20, whereas, over the past three surveys, it has been closer to 18 years of age. This difference is largely due to the elimination of Grade 13 in Ontario for the 2002–03 school year. ► More students self-identify as being a member of a visible minority in 2013 (36%) than previous years. ► There has been a steady increase in the proportion of students who self-identify as having a disability (from 5% in 2001 to 9% in 2013), although this difference is not statistically significant.
