Comparing the Chinese and Canadian Education System

The Chinese system of public education is very different from the Canadian system.First,there are no kindergarten before the primary school grade one.Children start their primary school at age six.Second, the free, compulsory and universal basic education only for 9 years. So, in most of rural counties, when students finish their middle school education, they try to find jobs or help their parents cultivating. In cities, the situations are good. Most of students can go on their high school education and go to colleges or universities later.Third, all students in public school are considered equal and learn to same material.They should buy textbooks for every lesson, and most of textbooks are edited by national education experts.Finally,there are difficult exams in Chinese education system for entrance to all universities, to many of the better secondary schools.The exam for entrance to universities is a nation wide exam which taken place on every year June 6Th to 7Th.

Different from China, in Canadian education system, the children should go to kindergarten at their 5 age before the primary school.In contrast,in Canadian education system, twelve years compulsory, free, universal education is available in public schools to every citizen or permanent resident. On the other hand, students in middle schools or secondary schools can choose the lessons they interested in. The shouldn't buy textbooks, most of their home works are investigating. Unlike China, there are no difficult exams during the education. Students themselves decide if they want college-preparatory or vocational classes in high school; no national exam determines this. Even though the education system of China and Canada are so different, I think they are all reasonable for their own country situation and culture.
