The state of education in Canada

How good are Canadian schools? What measurements should we use to evaluate the state of Canadian education? This book discusses the state of schools in Canada in comparison to other countries as well as province-to-province. It looks at the crucial elements in any educational system, ranging from the family environment to the quality of teaching to the effectiveness of school bureaucracy. It also stresses the importance of education in creating a well-trained and efficient workforce and suggests that a high level of numeracy and literacy generates significant income premiums for Canadian workers.
