Personalised Education Personified

Abstract

In a decentralised educational policymaking system, the federal government guides and coordinates educational developments through the CMEC, where provinces and territories enjoy independence in policymaking, program design, implementation, and assessment of learning outcomes. Canada has a uniform 12-year education, except for Quebec's vocational education. In addition to teaching traditional subjects, the central focus is on developing 21st-century life skills through the 6C framework. Students take learning assessment tests at the provincial (LSA) and national levels (PCAP) and participate in international assessments, consistently ranking high on PISA. Canadian education values inclusivity, diversity, and student-centred learning, emphasising a well-rounded curriculum, student engagement, and the development of critical thinking skills. Quality education without stress increasingly attracts international students, making Canadian school education a shining example of a multicultural society.
