Education

The education system in Afghanistan divides into primary, secondary and higher education. Students start primary education at age 7 form 1st grade to 9th, secondary education starts from 10th to 12th grade. Then a competitive examination is required to get the higher education. Everyone should compete with 300k students and must be an extraordinary talent to get the higher education in their chosen field. In Afghanistan the education system is old but, most of the universities use updated books and material to teach students. There is no tuition fee, and no other fees except books and their own expenses. For students which join from other provinces of Afghanistan, universities offer free hostile with all the facilities included. But it is challenging.

Canadian education system is high ranked, and students can easily get higher education by achieving high scores in schools. This system is divided into early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, and post secondary education. Childhood education starts from the age 4, primary education starts from age 6 to finishing the secondary school. For Post secondary education you need to submit your documents to the universities you wish to study in, the university board must decide whether they are eligible to join the university or not. On top of that, students should pay for all expenses like tuition fee, books, etc.…. although OSAP program can help students by offering grant and loan to continue their education, but for a single student with all the expenses, its hard to survive.

Overall, both education system has its own pros and cons. In Afghanistan, getting higher education is challenging and needs a lot of efforts. In Canada, student’s most tension is their own expenses and how to pay their fees. Note that both system needs attention and governments should hardly work on them. Students are the future of a country; no government should let them think except their education.
