For many observers, the system seems impractical and almost incoherent. But despite a total lack of federal oversight, the educational policies of all ten provinces are very similar today. Without intervention from Ottawa, the provinces have fashioned what amounts to a \u003cem\u003ede facto \u003c\/em\u003epan-Canadian system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLearning to School\u003c\/em\u003e explains how and why the provinces have achieved this unexpected result. Beginning with the earliest provincial education policies and taking readers right up to contemporary policy debates, the book chronicles how, through learning and cooperation, the provinces gradually established a country-wide system of public schooling.
