At a nominal cost...
In Canada, provinces and territories are responsible for their elementary and secondary schools.
Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in most provinces, 17 and 18 in others.
Both elementary and secondary education is provided at a nominal cost. Is paid by the country at what prices exactly?
I can't understand it.
Private education is available, but its comparatively high costs and the relative quality of public education result in it being less popular than in the United States or Britain. Post-secondary schooling is not free, but is subsidized by the federal and provincial governments. Financial assistance is available through student loans and bursaries.

MadhulkCould you elaborate on what they mean in my case here?Both elementary and secondary education is provided at a nominal cost
School is not free because the parents have to pay a little bit. Maybe the cost is for books, lunch, extra sports, field trips or special kinds of classes.
