Education in Canada

In Canada, parents have the primary responsibility for educating their children. To assist them, provincial and territorial governments administer and regulate educational systems. There is no federal department of education and no national system of education in Canada. Instead, each province and territory has its own system of education. The educational systems are generally similar across Canada with some variations between provinces and territories.Visit the website of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada for an overview of the education system in Canada.
