What do you mean by worth? When you come here they have to go to School.

You mean education is good or bad? Not sure what to answer, but you might be interested to know the poll results we have on this site.

How is education in Canada compare to India:

Superb!
28.8%
Yeah, it is Good
22.5%
May be OK
18.3%
Yes, good to become a labourer
15.6%
Nope, they don't teach
14.8%
Total votes: 671

At the age of 40, if I am planning to immigrate to canada , it is surely with a major interest to give my kids better education. Hence I want to know whether the candian school system at grade 3/4 is better as compared to Indian education system/ or else kids should be sent to canada after completing class 12 from Indian schools.

Hi ,
HERE IS MY EXPERIENCE :
I have a kid studying 5th grade in Toronto.
I am not impressed with the system here. I did extensive studies on the EQAO results of public schools for Toronto district school board, York D.S.B and Peel D.S.B.
After my investigation, I found out couple of good schools scoring very high (60% of the students getting grade A+).
However, these scores are high because they are all "Gifted school" scorings.
Your child to prove that they are above normal in studies comparing to other students in grade 3. Then the school will recommend them to send them to gifted schools.
Other than the gifted schools, rest of them are average schools getting average results.
We will be going back to India (Bangalore) to send our kid to one of best schools in India and be there for up to 12 grade.
Then we will be back for university education.

I fully agree with u. I give ZERO rate to the Canadian Primary Education. It is worst and will help generate only labors. My son was stamped a "WONDER BOY" when we came here in 2001 and he joined in SKG. Now after three yaers he does not know what he knew three yeras before. In garde 3 his classmates can not add 2+2.

I do not know, when the foundation is week how can we buid a strong home. This education system does not help develpong a strong foundation, inclination toward study than how come we expect the same kid while he/she reached in grade 7/8th to be perfcat and devote them in study.

This system just help to develope presentation and marketing skills. That's it. That's why Canada is able to sale its immigaration policy successfuly.

My opinion is just about primary education.
