Our home and native land.

There is a general consensus that Canada has a strong and inclusive education system. When you think of Canada something that comes to mind, would be free public schools. This is a big reason why people are drawn to move here or are living here already quite happily. People come from places all over the world come to take advantage of our school systems to either enter into the Canadian workforce or to return to their country to profit from their Canadian education. The asian community is well known for putting a lot of enfaces on education and knowledge, we see this clearly in Obasan when even during a time of persecution and turmoil for the Japanese-Canadians, families remain adamant that their children's schooling continue uninterrupted. Aunt Emily's Dad receives a letter from one of his old friends Kawaguchi, who had been sent to a camp in Princeton, asking the family to; "-see what we can do to keep Jack's education from being disturbed." (96). Even during a time of great personal stress and fear, Kawaguchi, chose to focus on his son's education and did what he could to make sure nothing was disturbed more than necessary.
