Canada and Sweden are both wealthy countries without any major issues such as natural disasters or dictatorship. These circumstances have made it a lot easier for the countries to develop good school systems. Because these countries are so similar and because they have developed in the same pace, the school systems are very similar. I have chosen to focus on the differences and similarities between these two countries when it comes to the first six years of education including preschool. In Sweden, kids are obligated to start their education at the age of seven. Before this age, from the age of one, they have the opportunity to join a kindergarten. The kindergartens in Sweden do not focus on teaching the kids anything. Instead they are used as a place where the children kan …show more content…
I think this is because both countries have had the same chance to develop their society. Both countries have a lot of money and have not suffered any losses through war or dictatorship. The countries have had the chance to develop functioning societies and school systems in their own pace without anything stopping them. I think the thing that causes the slight differences is the fact that the political systems are different. The way the country is ruled affects things such as rules for education etc. If Sweden and Canada had the same type of government, I think the school systems would be about exactly the same. Another thing that might cause differences in the school system is the culture in the country. Different countries have different values and this will affect how the country is ruled. However, I don’t think there is a very big difference in values between Sweden and Canada. As a conclusion, Sweden and Canada are incredibly similar in a lot of ways and this seems to be because they developed during the same time under the same consequences. The very few differences have to do with the differences in the political
The purpose of this assignment is to critique and evaluate the chosen article in terms of strengths and weakness and to demonstrate an understanding of an international educational approach to Early Years education. In addition it will explore the similarities and differences of the international approach to the current Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) working within my setting. Furthermore it will critically reflect upon the strategies within the approaches to identify possible issues and limitations of systems.
Despite the many differences in Canada’s and China’s education systems, there are a few similarities between them. In both countries, it is mandatory for children to receive a a certain amount of education. Chinese children must get at least nine years of schooling, which is funded by the government. On the other hand, Canadian children must get education up to the age of sixteen (ages may vary between various provinces.) The subjects taught in both countries are also alike. Mathematics, history, and fine arts are some examples of the shared subjects.
Canada, what do you think when you hear the word Canada? Afghanistan, what do you think when you hear the word Afghanistan? There are many differences between Canada and Afghanistan for example, Afghanistan has the Taliban that doesn't allow women to go outside without being accompanied by a boy/man. While Canada has women rights, and do allow women to go outside. Many people are in poverty in Afghanistan whereas here there aren't many people in poverty.
When it comes to certain qualities and attributes of the United States of America and Canada, many people residing elsewhere fail to tell the difference. The accents of people from certain parts of both countries, for instance, are so incredibly indistinguishable that they baffle any and everyone. Besides this one factor, they even share some comparable cultural characteristics, such as driving on the right side of the road and cherishing the same basic human rights to the utmost importance. Likewise, there are several similarities between multiple aspects of the countries’ respective governments, including within their individual established frameworks, political systems, and their divisions of authorities and duties. These could potentially point out a reason as to why Canada and the United States are immensely successful in their particular objectives, and are on their paths to achieving their long-term goals with difficult to accomplish, yet beneficial visions. After all, they are both either on the way to becoming or currently are two of world’s leading superpowers (Financial Post). However, there is not just one particular infallible way to rule a country and push it to further advancement simultaneously. In fact, each country works and functions differently, which is primarily due to individual background and history. Ultimately, although Canada and the United States of America are both nations that share similarities in various parts of their Constitutions, political
Oftentimes, children who are not introduced to the guidelines and principles of their kindergarten classroom spend much of their first year trying to catch up to their peers. By implementing a universal preschool, early childhood educators are able to apply kindergarten policies to their classroom procedures in an effort to prepare students for the transition. For instance, when the educators from various grades are able to communicate with one another, health records, learning disabilities and classroom procedures are discussed and teachers are able to employ solutions before the school year starts. As many as half of all children entering kindergarten display difficulties in the transition. Moreover, teachers expect children to have certain skills sets upon entering the classroom that they may not possess. Finally, kindergarten teachers identified weaknesses in academic and social kills, including the inability to follow directions, working independently or perform adequately in a formal school setting (Stormont, 213). By introducing children to these basic skill sets in preschool, they are able to transition smoothly to kindergarten and succeed among their
As much as there are similarities, there are also multiple differences. One difference is that Estonia and Canada have different currencies. Estonia uses Euro dollars whereas Canada uses Canadian dollars. Food in Estonia is more natural and less processed, on the other hand, Canadian food is more processed. However, in Canada you have a better chance of making money, whereas in Estonia you have less of a chance of making
Children learn to act in accordance to their culture due to what their parents teach them and what they learn in school. Different countries have their own way of cooking, driving and most important, teaching. A child who is in a preschool in America, will not experience the same cultural activities as a child in China or Japan. The video Preschool in Three Cultures Revisited demonstrates how preschools in these three countries teach their students in accordance to their culture. This video also shows different Behaviorism and Constructivism aspects for each school.
There are always many differences and similarities between two countries, even they are in close geographical area. Both United States and Canada are on the America continental, therefore the United States and Canada are in close geographical location and in the neighborhoods, most people think that culturally they are same .But this is not true. Despite all similarities between these two countries, there are many differences between them.
The two North American countries despite being on the same continent have a lot of differences. One being that in the history of their being Canada got its independence in 1867 while the USA got its independence in 1767 from the British. Both countries formed governments; however, the Canadian government being federal it was closely related to its mother country Britain. Canada is a parliamentary democratic while the USA is a constitutional democracy. This means that whereas Canada would require the legislature to make most of its laws and rules the USA mostly focuses on following its constitution.
America is a Market Economy, which means that the People rules mostly everything and Government don’t have a say in what they want to do sorta. Canada is A mixed economy and that means that Both consumers and the government run canada. One of the big difference is Politics. People in canada Have alot of rights to vote for a lot of things like who runs our government. The USA only have like 3 things people can vote for because it is a consumer so they don't rely
Early childhood education has many benefits and there is the potential for many significant outcomes if universal preschools were put into place. Some feel that children who start kindergarten without previously attended preschool sometimes lack certain skills such as social and communication skills and an inability to follow routines. There were also studies done that found attending preschool could help to close the achievement gap in the grade school years. A child’s first few years of life are most important, and they absorb the most during those years. By providing universal preschool, all children would be benefiting, especially those who are in at-risk families or part of the lower class. As a society, we have a responsibility to help the children in our communities and provide them with the education they need in order to help them succeed in life.
In this paper, I assess a proposal to implement after-school programs in low-income and/or high-migration communities across Canada for the Canadian federal government. Increasingly, we have been hearing, in the popular press especially, about the issue of after-school programs and its positive impact on children from low-income and migrant families. Research has shown that there are positive effects that could be gained from these programs such as increased social inclusion, reduction in the inequality gap between children from these families and children from high socioeconomic families and better health. The implications of these positives for low-income and migrated youths makes this a relevant issue and one that must be treated with some urgency. After the evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of this proposal, I have recommended implementing it. My rationale is explained in the rest of the paper.
Firstly, Canada is constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy ,but Germany is a federal country. Compare two governments they have similarity and difference. First, Canada’s legislative branch have 3 parts,they are House of Commons(5 major parties are Conservative,Liberal,NDP, Green and Bloc Quebecois),Senate,and Governor-General,but Germany have two parts of legislative , they are Bundestag(5 major parties are CDU,CSU,SPD,The Left and Alliance’90/The Grees) and Bundesrat.Secondly,Germany does not have Government-General,because Germany is not constitutional monarchy. House of Commons is very similar with Germany’s Bundestag. Their representatives both elected by Canadian or German citizens, and every 4 years people will elected a new
Canada and Israel both advanced tremendously in certain aspects of government, but both are also greatly lacking in other aspects. Israel and Canada seemed to have progresses in opposite parts of government; Canada has a very “Responsible government”, while Israel has a very “Representative Government”. These are both vital for good governing, and while I have to admire Israel’s electoral system, I believe that the Canadian system (The Westminster Parliamentary System) provides a much more stable government. And although Canada needs to better represent each voter, its system remains true to the hopes and wishes of the average citizen. Which (as I said earlier) is one of the fundamental principles of the Western
If the United State America is known in the world as a “superpower country” how is it that education is lacking in our nation. Canada is one of the leading in education around the world. In order for United Stated to be legitimately prosperous, we as a nation require to adopt Canada’s education system has implemented in their school system. Because education endure advantages to our society. If the United State America does this, provide employment to our growing society furthermore, we can reduced crimes in the United States.
