The Education System in Canada

In Canada, the provinces and territories are responsible for education so there is no national department of education. The mandatory school age ranges from 5-7 to 16-18. Adult literacy rate is at 99%.

Postsecondary education is the responsibility of the provincial and territorial governments and the federal government provides additional funding through research grants. All schools—universities, colleges, technical schools, community colleges and private career colleges—set their own admission requirements. Accreditation applies to programs of study rather than institutions, both of which are of consistent high quality.

Canada offers a huge number of options in terms of higher education and there are universities spread out across this vast country. University programs range from fine art, biology and commerce to astronomy, media studies and religion. Canadian degrees are globally recognized and considered equivalent to those from American and other Commonwealth universities.
