Education System in Saskatchewan and the Republic of the Philippines
Based on what I read in Wikipedia, "Education in Canada is funded and overseen by federal and provincial governments. Education is within the provincial jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by the province. The education in Canada is divided into primary education, followed by secondary education and post-secondary education. Within the provinces under the Ministry of Education, there are district school boards administering the education programs . Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every province in Canada, except for Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18, or as soon as a high school diploma has been achieved. In some provinces early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14. Canada generally has 190 (180 in Quebec) school days in the year, officially starting from September (after Labour Day) to the end of June (usually the last Friday of the month, except in Quebec when it is just before June 24 – the provincial holiday)".
Education in the Philippines changed radically. The Department of Education is the sole department that administers the entire educational system in the country. The curriculum along with the utilization of given funds for school services, equipment, recruitment of teachers and all other things needed. The former educational system of the Philippines is not compulsory and had a total of 10 years to complete it. It was composed of 6 years of elementary education starting the age of 6, and 4 years of high school education starting at the age of 12. With this kind of system education is not compulsory. However in the year 2011 signaled the start of the implementation of the new educational system, which is the K-12 educational system. It includes the new curricula for all the schools. With this system, education will be now compulsory. All public and private schools in the Philippines must start classes from a date mandated by the Department of Education usually every first Monday of June for public schools only and must end after the each school completes the mandated 200-day school calendar of Department of Education usually around the third week of March to the second week of April. The four phases of the implementation of the new educational system in the Philippines is still in process.
Based on what I read and experience about the educational system of the the two countries. I will still prefer the educational system in the Philippines. Education in the Philippines is more competitive. Most of the Filipinos had a chance to go to abroad it is because of the quality of education that the country provides them. Wherever you go in the whole world you can a Filipino worker it is because the educational system in the Philippines made them competitive to all other workers.
