| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Education in Canada is a state-run system of public education provided, funded and overseen by federal, provincial, and local governments. Education is within provincial jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by the province. Education in Canada is generally divided into primary education, followed by secondary education and post-secondary. Within the provinces under the ministry of education, there are district school boards administering the educational programs. Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every province in Canada, except for Ontario and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18. This book studies education in Canada including Ontario academic credit, Group of Thirteen, Toronto catholic district school board, and a list of colleges and universities in Canada.
