Uganda Vs. Canada Education

In Canada, I went to a public school called "Pineland Public School".
 Now coming to Uganda, it's a huge change in many different aspects,
especially school. And here's why...

CURRICULUM:

***Canada**:* The curriculum in KISU is much different
than the curriculum in Canada. Where I'm from, they use the Ontario
School system. Firstly, each district in Ontario uses different styles
of teaching, they teach the same things just in different styles of
teaching. In each city, there are different regions, they include
"Halton Region" (which is the region that I lived in), "York Region",
"Peel Region" etc. All the teachers in Ontario belong to a union, where
they are protected.

The teachers union is an organization that serves and protects
their rights as teachers. They make decisions together, as a "unified"
group. For example, if majority of teachers make a decision to go on a
strike (a strike is a refusal to work until their demands have been met)
 they all must agree whether they want to, or not. When they go on
strike school gets canceled in some conditions, also buses, clubs and
field trips will no longer go on, for as long as the strike lasts. Since
 schooling is free in Canada (for Canadian citizens), the teachers get
paid by the Canadian Government. (Canadians technically pay for school,
but it is through taxes.)

There are three different types of schools you can go to. They
include public, catholic public, and private. If you're a Canadian
Citizen, you do not need to pay to go to a catholic public school or a
public school, but to go to a private school, you need to pay school
fees. You start school in an elementary school, which mostly starts from
 kindergarten (4-5 years old) to Grade 8 (13-14 years old) In grades 3,6
 and 9, you do a test called EQAO, It tests you on everything that you
have done that whole year, it is kind of like having exams, but only for
 certain grades. When you graduate from elementary school you go to high
 school, which starts from Grade 9 to Grade 12 (where instead of doing
terms, you do semesters). After high school you go off to
University/College.

***UGANDA (KISU)***: At KISU, they use the Cambridge
Curriculum (British Schooling System). In Uganda, coming as a student
abroad, you go to an International School to learn up to the standards
you're used to. When you go to school in Uganda, even as an Ugandan
citizen you need to pay for school.
Usually it's one whole school (year wise) here, all the way from
Registration (2-3 years old) to Year 13/IB 2. After IB 2, you go to a
university abroad for obvious reasons.
 Since you need to pay school fees here, the money you pay goes towards
the teachers, maintenance, cleaners, property etc.

### Edit

TEACHERS:

***CANADA/ PINELAND:*** The teachers in Canada are mostly
 Canadian and went to university in Canada. At the moment it is very
difficult to get a job as a teacher in Canada. Some teachers quit
because they don't like being apart of a union.
Also, some teachers teach more than one subject. For example, your math
teacher might be also teaching you PE also.

***KISU:*** Most teachers come from abroad, including
Europe, North America etc. Also, for every subject, there's different
teachers teaching it (mostly).

BUILDING OF SCHOOL:

***CANADA:*** The schools in Canada are only one
building, with no campus. They usually just have a large area of grass,
and some pavement. For the children in Kinder garden, they have a play
ground with swings and slides. High schools have an American Football
field. The inside of schools consist of classrooms with heat and AC,
washrooms and a gym (sometimes more than one gym depending on the size
of the school) for Phys Ed activities.

***UGANDA/KISU:*** The schools here usually consist of
different buildings, that have different rooms for each subject. Most
classrooms don't have air conditioning, and have fewer classrooms in the
 buildings. For Phys Ed activities, it is usually outdoor. Including a
football field, basketball court and a swimming pool (because of the
constant heat all year round).

WHERE SCHOOLS ARE LOCATED:

***CANADA:*** The schools in Canada have boundaries.
Which means, if you don't live in the schools boundary, you can't attend
 that specific school. But, some schools will make exceptions for some
students, depending on the situation. If the school is half English and
half french, the boundary is larger. Schools are mostly located within
walking distance from students homes. Since elementary school starts
around 9am, parents are already at work, which forces students to walk
to school. If you are a student living farther from school, or if your
parents can't pick you up or drop you off, they have school buses to do
the job. Since the school bus drivers also get paid by the government,
there are no school bus fees either.

***UGANDA (KISU):*** The schools here aren't usually in
walking distance from students homes, (parents usually drive their kids
to school). For students that need to take a bus, NEED to pay school bus
 fees also.

STUDENTS COMING FROM ABROAD:

If you are a student coming from a different country, to study in
 Ontario, you need to pay, even to just go to a Catholic Public or
Public school. The cost for primary schooling, coming from abroad,
varies between $15,000-$30,000 Canadian Dollars.
