Definition:

The Manitoba Education & Training (MET) Number is a unique number assigned to each student upon registration with Manitoba Education for the purpose of record keeping of student progress through the education system. This number remains the same from Kindergarten to Grade 12, except in the case of child adoption when the existing MET number is retired and a new number is assigned to the new adoptive identity of the student (Manitoba Education, 2012). The MET number is different from any student number that may be assigned in a local school division.
