Public education in Canada and Australia varies in a few ways.
Firstly, the education system in Canada is divided into provinces and territories, while in Australia it is divided into states and territories. Each province and territory in Canada has its own Ministry of Education, which sets the curriculum and policies for schools within their jurisdiction. Similarly, each state and territory in Australia has its own Department of Education, which sets the curriculum and policies for schools within their jurisdiction.
Secondly, the education system in Canada is bilingual, with English and French as the official languages. The majority of education is in English, but in Quebec, the education is in French. In contrast, the education system in Australia is mainly in English.
Thirdly, the education system in Canada is generally considered to be more centralized, with provinces and territories having more control over education policies and curricula compared to the education system in Australia, which is more decentralized.
Lastly, the education system in Canada is generally considered to be more diverse with more emphasis on vocational education and apprenticeship programs. The Australian education system is considered to be more academically oriented with a strong focus on university preparation.
