Education in Canada is structured according to a standard
system, with Québec standing as the sole exception (see tables
below). Children may go to preschool up until the age of five, when
they begin attending kindergarten, the last step before their
primary school education. In Québec, children also have the option
of learning both French and English.
Canada's goal is to make world-class education accessible to all
Canadians. To this end, Canada’s provinces have created a strong
public school system alongside a private school system that is
structured by language or religious affiliation. As a result,
Canada possesses one of the best educated workforces in the
world.

*All university degrees can be obtained by students of any age,
as there is no limit on a student's age at this level. Also,
students are not obliged to obtain all their degrees immediately
one after another.
