Abstract

Education, in the opm10n of the Economic Council of Canada, is Canada's biggest industry.1 It is also, perhaps, the most complicated and the most vital. It is complicated, because in a federal state a combined effort is required, not only among individuals and institutions, but among two or three levels of government. It is vital, since education contributes not only to economic prosperity and social stability, but to the comfort, enrichment and satisfaction of the individual citizen as well. With a larger proportion of her population engaged in full-time study than any
other industrial nation, Canada's commitment to education is substantial and Canadians are naturally concerned with the effective operation of their educational systems.
