It is generally divided

2、 into elementary (Primary School, Public School), followed by Secondary (High School) and Post Secondary (University, College). 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 i

3、n every province in Canada, except for Ontario and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18. In some provinces early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14. Canada generally has 190 school days in the year, officially starting from September (after Labor Day ) to th

4、e end of June ( usually the last Friday of the month, Wednesday in some Ontario schools).Pre-universityPrimary education and secondary education combined are sometimes referred to as K-12 (Kindergarten through Grade 12 ). It should be noted that this structure can vary from school to school, and fro

5、m province to province. For instance, Prince Edward Island is the only province that does not provide Kindergarten. In contrast, Ontario is the only province which provides two levels of Kindergarten (Junior and Senior).In Canada, secondary schooling, known as high school, “cole secondaire“ or secon

6、dary school, differs depending on the province in which one resides. Additionally, grade structure may vary within a province and even within a school division. Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every province in Canada, except for Ontario and New Brunswick ( where the compulsory ages a

7、re 18). Students may continue to attend high school until the ages of 19 to 21 (the cut-off age for high school varies between provinces). Those 19 and over may attend adult school. Also if high schoolers are expelled or suspended for a period of time over 2 months or so they could attend night scho

8、ol at the high school.Ontario had a “Grade 13“ known as Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) year, but this was abolished by the provincial government to cut costs. OAC was last offered for the 2002-2003 school year. As a result, the curriculum has been compacted, and the more difficult subjects, such as m

9、athematics, are comparatively harder than before. However, the system is now approximately equivalent to what has been the case outside of Quebec and Ontario for many years. Secondary education in Quebec continues to Grade 11 ( Secondary V), and is typically followed by CEGEP, a two- or three-year c

10、ollege program taken after high school. Pre-university CEGEP programs are two years in Quebec (university for Quebecers is three years), and vocational or professional programs are three years in duration.Post-secondary EducationPost-secondary education in Canada is also the responsibility of the in

11、dividual provinces and territories. Those governments provide the majority of funding to their public post-secondary institutions, with the remainder of funding coming from tuition fees, the federal government, and research grants. Compared to other countries in the past, Canada has had the highest

12、tertiary school (大学) enrollment as a percentage of their graduating population.Nearly all post-secondary institutions in Canada have the authority to grant academic credentials (i. e. , diplomas or degrees). Generally speaking, universities grant degrees (e. g. , bachelors, masters or doctorate degr

13、ees) while colleges, which typically offer vocationally- oriented programs, grant diplomas and certificates. However, some colleges offer applied arts degrees that lead to or are equivalent to degrees from a university.Post-secondary education in Quebec begins with CEGEP ( collges d enseignement gnr

14、al et professionnel), following graduation from Grade 11 (or Secondary V). Students complete a two- or three-year general program leading to admission to a university, or a professional program leading directly into the labor force. In most cases, bachelors degree programs in Quebec are three years

15、instead of the usual four; however, in many cases, students attending a university in Quebec that did not graduate from CEGEP must complete an additional year of coursework. When Ontario had five years of nigh school, a three-year bachelors degree was common, but these degrees are being phased out i

16、n favor of the four-year degree.The main variation between the provinces, with respect to universities, is the amount of funding they receive. Universities in Quebec receive the most funding and have the lowest tuitions. Universities in Atlantic Canada generally receive the least funding and some, l

17、ike Acadia University, are almost wholly reliant on private funding.The Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), is the military academy of the Canadian Forces and is a full degree-granting university. RMC is the only federal institution with degree granting powers.Private SchoolsIn Canada there is n

18、o obligation for parents to place their children in the public school system, and about 8% of students are in the private system. A minority of these are elite private schools. These schools are attended by only a small fraction of students, but do have a great deal of prestige and prominence. It is

19、 not unusual for the wealthy and prominent in Canada to send their children to public schools, especially in the lower grades. A far larger portion of private schools are religions based institutions. Private Schools are also used to study outside the country. For example CCI ( Canadian College Ital

20、y) has an Ontario curriculum, but the students study in Italy.Private UniversitiesAt present, all private universities in Canada maintain a religions history or foundation. British Columbias Quest University will become the first privately funded liberal arts university without a denominational affi

21、liation ( although it is not the first private liberal arts university). Many provinces, including Ontario and Alberta, have passed legislation allowing private degree- granting institutions (not necessarily universities) to operate there.Many Canadians remain polarized on the issue of permitting pr

22、ivate universities into the Canadian market. On the one hand, Canadas top universities find it difficult to compete with the private American powerhouses because of funding, but on the other hand, the fact that the price of private universities tends to exclude those who cannot pay that much for the

23、ir education could prevent a significant portion of Canadas population from being able to attend these schools.（分数：70.00）(1).In the Province of Ontario, children can not stop schooling until _.（分数：7.00）A.14B.16C.18D.20(2).All Canadian provinces provide Kindergarten but _.（分数：7.00）A.Prince Edward Isl
