mostly of part given publicly, funded as well as overseen by
the provincial, federal, and home governments. Education is
contained by provincial jurisdiction as well as the course

Canada Wide
Elementary, secondary, as well
as post-secondary education of Canada is the provincial
responsibility as well as there are numerous variations
between provinces. Several educational fields are sustained
at different levels by the federal departments. Canada
spends around 7% of GDP on the education. Since adoption of
the section 23 of Constitution Act, 1982, the education in
both French and English is available in most of the places
across the Canada even though the education of French Second
Language or French Immersion is accessible to the Anglophone
students in Canada.
Pre-university
Primary education as well as the
secondary education united, at times referred to as the K-12
(Kindergarten via Grade 12). It must be noted that the
structure may vary from one school to another and one
province to another. On the contrary, Ontario is only
province that offers two levels at Kindergarten (Senior and
Junior).
Post-secondary education
Post-secondary education of
Canada is the responsibility of individual territories and
provinces. Those governments offer majority of funding to
the public post-secondary institutes, with funding coming
from the tuition fees, federal government and the research
grants. The RMC (Royal Military College) of Canada is a
military academy of Canadian Forces. It is a university,
providing full degree-granting. RMC is only federal
institution, having degree granting powers.
Private
schools
Around 8% students are studying
in the private schools. Some of them are best private
schools like Upper Canada College, Ridley College, and
Havergal College. All these schools are focused by some
students however do have ample prestige and prominence.
Private schools are used for studying outside the country
also.
Private
Universities
In past, the private
universities of Canada uphold the religious foundation or
history. However, since 1999, Province of the New Brunswick
has passed Degree Granting Act, permitting private
universities for operating in Province. University of
Fredericton is newest University of receiving the
designation in the New Brunswick.
Residential
School System
The
Canadian residential school system consisted of a number of
schools for Aboriginal children, operated during the 20th
century by churches of various denominations (about sixty
per cent by Roman Catholics, and thirty per cent by the
Protestants) and funded under the Indian Act by Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada, a branch of the federal government.
The schools' purpose was, according to the Gradual
Civilization Act, to "civilize" aboriginals, teach them
English or French, convert them to Christianity, and end
their traditional ways of life.
Religious
schools
Every province deals in a
different way with the private religious schools. For
instance, Ontario has numerous private Muslim, Jewish, and
Christian schools, funded via tuition fees. As Catholic
schools system is well-established in constitution, Supreme
Court has lined that the system is legitimate.
Parents might wish to contact
the provincial and territorial ministries of education
directly for information. This is a good idea as they all
have their own distinct systems. Their websites offer
detailed information on curriculum, admission procedures and
quality assurance.

membership organisation of private elementary and secondary
schools across Canada.

education@canada website is an information resource of
the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), the
