Canada’s education system faces multiple challenges, one of which is that it has no national higher-education plan, according to a report released Tuesday by the Canadian Council on Learning. Canada is “unique in the developed world for having no national strategy for PSE [postsecondary education], no acknowledged and accepted goals, no benchmarks, and no public reporting of results based on widely accepted measures,” says the scathing report. It calls on Canada to establish a federal education body. Frustration with the lack of a national body has been simmering for some time with Canada’s governor general, the former president of the University of Waterloo, a longtime advocate of changing the system. The report also notes that the lack of a national accreditation system hampers international-student recruitment.
