This finding looks at the relationship between religion and attitudes toward education.

The level of private religious practice was related to attitudes towards education. Among a sample of Canadian adolescents who attended Catholic schools, those who reported higher levels of religious practice were more likely to report having a positive attitude toward their education than their peers who reported lower levels of private religious practice.

Sample or Data Description
