Changes

Education in Canada is the responsibility of provincial and territorial governments; curriculum and marking schemes are completely removed from the control of the federal government. Each province uses a different method of administering education. For example, Ontario has public, separate (Catholic), and private schools. Alberta has an additional category, known as charter schools. Charter schools are schools that have been created in the community to surround a particular theme. They could be artistic, vocational, etc.

The Canadian grading scale markedly differs from the grading scale in the United States. In the US, a 59% or below is an F. In Canada, a 49% and below is an F, a 60%, which will earn a D- in the US, will get you a C+. An 80%, which is a B in the US, is an A- in Canada. <ref>http://www.federal-realestate.com/info-schools/mcgill-university.html</ref>. This statement lacks any sort of research, as there are many different academic grading sysytems in Canada, each determined by the provincial departments of education.
