What are the differences between French and American education systems?

List the Differences between the Canadian Education and American Education Systems?

• And do you think America would be better off if we made our education system more like Canada? If so, how could we do this?

• Answer:

  Well, from what I know, you can do this research on Wikipedia. Here's the breakdown of the Canadian system (you can compare and contrast this to the American system): -Elementary school (K-7) (this varies from school to school. Some Canadian schools may have the middle school system that Americans have) -Secondary school (8-12) -Provincial exams -French/English speaking schools are available (if there are enough people willing to attend either one) -Native study programs within most schools -First Nations support workers -School mandatory until age 16 -Fees paid in public schools, associated with various programs that may/may not be mandatory -Liason officers in secondary schools -College vs. University in that Universities provide undergrad studies as well as grad and post-grad studied wherein Colleges may only provide 2y certification programs or may require undergrads to transfer to a full-time unversity in years 3 and 4 -No freshman/sophomore/junior/senior system -In Quebec, ecole secondaire is provided as Secondary I, Secondary II...Secondary V These are the basic points that Canadian schools have. Of course, I've left out religious schools, but you can do that information yourself.
