The school and university system in Canada is different from that of European countries. It includes public and private schools from kindergarten to university. Under the Canadian constitution, education is the provincial governments’ responsibility to bear the cost of primary and secondary public schools.
The Canadian university system resembles the U.S. system. Colleges and universities are private and therefore they charge tuition fees.
