Do you have much regional disparity in Canada? In the US the difference between states and even cities can be greater than the difference between most countries.

Geez, the funding connection sounds like your problem right there. Afaik we only use them to monitor the effectiveness of curricula and teaching methods across the board.
Not really any regional disparity, to my knowledge. A public education is about the same anywhere.
