Document Summary
The canadian education and training system: the largest part of the education system is primary and secondary education and these are largely paid for by the government. After that the mix of public and private funding becomes more complicated. Note that the last stage is the broad category of adult education". This is often associated with the idea of lifelong learning": the canadian education system has some distinctive features. The vocational component at the secondary level is small. Postsecondary education can be broken up by people moving into and out of the education system. Postsecondary education is divided between colleges and universities. In canada the college sector is larger than it is in any other oecd country. There are about as many enrolments in colleges as in universities. Quebec"s cegeps provide pre university education that replaces the first year of university.
