Education in Canada is under
the complete jurisdiction of
the provinces and
territories and as such,
there is no federal
education system in Canada.
In keeping with the national
commitment to education,
public education in Canada
is free up to and including
secondary school in all the
provinces. At the
post-secondary level,
institutions are divided
into community colleges and
universities.
There are significant
differences between the
education systems of the
different provinces of
Canada. Secondary schooling
in Canada could go up to
Grade 11, 12 or 13,
depending on the province
unlike in India, where Grade
12 is standard all over the
country.
Post secondary education is
offered by four types of
educational institutions:
-
Universities
-
University Colleges
-
Community
Colleges/Technical
Institutes
-
Career Colleges
Universities:
Canadian universities are
largely public funded, and,
as a result, offer
consistently high quality
education at lower tuition
rates for international
students than their
counterparts in competing
countries. They offer a
broad range of courses and
degrees from undergraduate
to doctorate and also
certificate and professional
degrees.
University Colleges:
As a component of the
Canadian university system,
university colleges offer
students a choice of either
academic oriented university
degree programmes or the
more practical-oriented
college diplomas and
certificates.
Community colleges and
technical institutes:
They typically have a more
vocational and employer
-related curricula. These
institutes have the primary
function of responding to
the training needs of
business, industry, and
public service sectors.
Technical/ Career College:
This is a privately owned
and operated school with the
main objective of preparing
students for the job market
after a short period of
instruction. The emphasis
at career colleges is on
practical skills over a
broad range of programmes.
They specialize in such
areas as business,
computers, and secretarial
skills. Although privately
owned, these institutes are
provincially approved and
regulated, ensuring that
programme’s standards and
quality are maintained.
