→Education: - Added notes to the mark scheme, and made it easier to read. Though I have no source for the aded info, I know it to be true since I am in a Canadian school currently.
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. In Canada, 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>
The Canadian grading scale markedly differs from the grading scale in the United States. In the US, a 59% or below earns you an F, a 60% nets a D-, and 80% a B. However, in Canadian universities, only 49% or below is an F, 60% will net a C+, and 80% is an A-. <ref>http://www.federal-realestate.com/info-schools/mcgill-university.html</ref> This differs somewhat from their secondary schooling systems, where the mark F is absent and substituted by E. A are marks of 85% or above, B is from there to 75%, C is from that to 65%, and D fills the gap between C and E. This may vary from province to province.
