Description: As the basis of wealth in developed nations shifts from natural resources and manufacturing to knowledge, achieving higher levels of popular education becomes increasingly important. In Canada, as in many other countries, there is concern that the existing education systems are not adequately meeting the challenges of the complex modern world. This concern persists, despite the fact that Canada's post-secondary enrollment rates are among the highest in the world. This paper briefly discusses the practice, responsibilities and limitations of the federal government in educational matters, and some of the major public concerns with respect to accessibility, quality and funding.
