According to Modern Languages Notes, there are three different theories that give three different explanations to the origin of word Canada:
1. The river Canada ( meaning the St. Lawrence) gave the name to the country
2. From the small province of Canada, the designation was extended to the whole valley of St. Lawrence
3. The term is of Indian origin.( p. 165)

Inuit
A group of people settled in the Arctic from Alaska to Greenland. They arrived from across the Bering Strait into Alaska about 4,000 years ago.
The word Inuit simply translates as “people”. In the past, the Inuit were called Eskimos, which is now considered a disparaging, derogative term since it literally means “eaters of raw meat.”

There are both private and public schools in the Canadian education system
Most private schools are religious institutions
The government does fund some of them, but not like the way it funds public school
In Ontario, the Catholic schools are entirely funded by the government

Some of the criticisms of the Canadian education systems: The need of a federal body that sets
national goals Research and development becoming a
priority of universities at the expense of teaching
There is a need to find balance between teaching and research

Canada’s Definition of Adult Education
We know that the provincial governments are exclusively responsible for education in their provinces. Even though Canada as a country takes part in General Conference of UNESCO and signs resolutions that contain a definition of adult education, this does not exactly reflect the views of adult education held by the provinces. Therefore, it is important to look at how each province defines adult education and how close it does correspond to the views of adult education issued in the UNESCO definition.

UNESCO’s Definition of Adult Education
The term "adult education” denotes the entire body of organized educational processes, whatever the content, level and method, whether formal or otherwise, whether they prolong or replace initial education in schools, colleges and universities as well as in apprenticeship, whereby persons regarded as adult by the society to which they belong develop their abilities, enrich their knowledge, improve their technical or professional qualifications or turn them in a new direction and bring about changes in their attitudes or behavior in the twofold perspective of full personal development and participation in balanced and independent social, economic and cultural development; adult education, however, must not be considered as an entity in itself, it is a sub-division, and an integral part of, a global scheme for lifelong education and learning.

Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC)
It was formed in 1967 by Ministers of Education of the provinces and territories
It was created to present a forum in which Ministers could discuss matters of similar interest, undertake educational initiatives cooperatively, and respect the interests of the provinces and territories with national educational organizations, the federal government, foreign governments, and international organizations

According to the research report of the CMEC, Developing an Adult-Education Policy Framework: Terminology, Typology, and Best Practices published on May 31, 2005,
“The concept of lifelong learning encompasses the fields of adult learning and adult education. Adult learning is considered to be a subset of lifelong learning– in that it is applied to learning only in the adult years. Adult education is considered to be a subset of lifelong learning and adult learning, in that learning by adults occurs both within the framework of adult education, and beyond it.”
