Canada VS US Education

Education
As a college student, I see one of the most important things to be education. When I was younger, I never thought of education, I was a kid and I just wanted to have fun. However, as I get older and more involved in education, I realize how important it is for everyone regardless of age, sex, gender or race. Education is one of those things in life that matters to everyone, it is how you build you basis around life. It is where you learn to do everything and figure out who you are going to be as a person later on in life. I believe that education is one of the most important aspect to a person and is something that should never be over looked. Even when I have children, I want to make sure they are getting the best education that they can. So curiosity led me to find out more about the Canadian education system compared to the US education system. The US and Canada have a lot of difference but they have a lot of similarities as well. Education is free as long as it 's in the public school and you start out in elementary school. For the past twelve years it has been this way along with high-school. Depending on the territory in Canada, it hasn 't quite been as long. For example, in Quebec it has been eleven years instead of twelve. In either country there is no restrains on who can attend school, everyone has equal opportunity (Harring). This is probably one of the most important things considering every child should be able to go to school and get the same chance as everyone else. Although the education is free in both countries, their funding is completely different. The education system in the US is ran by the US department of education under the government while the Canadian education system is the Ministries of Education. There are many associations that are involved with their education including: Canadian Teachers’ Federation, Canadian Education Association and the Canadian School
