Canada

Education is one of the top priorities of the Canadian government. Education is very important to Canadians and the nationally consistent standards for education are very high. Under the Canadian constitution, Education is accountable to the provinces, which means that there are significant differences between the education systems of different provinces. Education in Canada is largely provided, publicly funded, and supervised by federal, provincial, and local governments. Education is under the jurisdiction of the province and the curriculum is supervised by the province.

Depending on the province, schools go to grade 11 or 12, generally until age 16. Children then have the option of continuing their education at university, college, or vocational training.

College and university education in Canada is the responsibility of individual provinces and territories. The provincial government provides the majority of funding for educational institutions, with the remainder coming from tuition fees, the federal government, and research grants. Canada is very proud of its universities and colleges. There is no formal ranking system, and selections are often based on geographic convenience and the reputation of a particular course.
