Canada's Advantages
Canada has a small population, ample educational resources, and no University Entrance Exam system. Local high school students can apply directly to universities based on the student’s high school academic results. Canada’s quality higher education resources are abundant, and universities only require students to graduate from local high schools in Canada. Students with qualified high school academic performances can apply directly to world-renowned universities like the University of Toronto, without any pressure of taking the entrance exam.
For the families with certain economic conditions, if they send their children to Canada to study at the secondary school level, the children can graduate from high school without taking the entrance exams to enter the world’s leading universities, and will receive higher education that is equivalent to the education from Chinese universities above the 600’s entrance exam score line. Canada’s primary and secondary school education system is also ahead of the world, paying great attention to the development of students’ overall quality. In the principle of Inspirational Brain Education, focus on the results of day-to-day learning performance, that is, to not only cultivate students’ academic literacy, but also prepare for the future study. In summary, there are many advantages for the children to study in Canada at the secondary school level.
According to the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), there are currently about 100 registered public universities and community colleges in Canada. With a limited population of only about 35 million people and vast supply of post-secondary institutions, Canada is inevitably one of the countries with the highest number of educational resources per capita.
All Canadian universities are public institutions funded by the government of Canada. Many Canadian universities are ranked among the best universities in the world. For example, University of Toronto has been ranked number 17th worldwide consistently for 10 consecutive years. Canada does not have university admission exams; students who study in a Canadian high school are admitted by universities solely based on the grades they achieve in grade 12. Which is less competitive than applying directly to Canadian universities as a foreign student. Parents of international students who are currently considering having your child study abroad should consider having your child study in Canada to take advantage of the excellent education resources and less competitive university admission requirements.
The highest administrative educational authority in Canada is the provincial ministry of education. Due to the small population density in Canada, the standard of high school education varies greatly from province to province. Ontario is the province with the highest level of high school education in Canada. The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is highly recognized by universities in Canada, as well as in the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, the European Union, and China. With an Ontario high school diploma, you can successfully enter universities in various countries.
