Education in Canada

Canada provides free education from elementary to secondary school. Post secondary, such as colleges and universities require for tuition to be paid although taxes do subsidise the full cost. Education falls under the jurisdiction of the provinces and is very similar to that of other western education systems.

French immersion programs where English-speaking children are taught classes in French are an option for some schools in Canada.

There are private schools in Canada, some of which implement alternate teaching methods.

Approximately 85% of Canadians complete high school and 65% continue to a post-secondary education. Universities in Canada attract students from all over the world.
