7 Animal Protection Party We are a small party. Our candidates and supporters see education for everyone as an important public investment. We advocate for fully funded public education from kindergarten to post graduate studies. I think our goal of removing barriers financial and otherwise ensures that all citizens in Canada can fully participate in all aspects of life in our nation.
I think this answers your questions although not the detailed implementation of such a proposal. If we were in power we would research how other countries have implemented such programmes and what best practices exist that would provide guidance as to how to best implement such a programme.
Below is our education platform from our web site.

INVESTING IN THE PUBLIC, AS A WHOLE
APPC proposes that education be considered a public investment in the nation as a whole, and be fully funded from kindergarten to post-graduate levels including advanced skill training in non- academic fields.
For example, removing financial barriers would ensure that most citizens, regardless of personal or family circumstances, could fully participate in and contribute to the economic, cultural, and political life of the nation. It would also ensure that citizens could transition from career to career as necessary.
Countries such as Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Belgium, Greece, and Spain offer various types of free education to both citizens and foreign students.
Denmark, for example, offers free education, where students get paid to assist with outside costs. Students over the age of 18 are entitled to six years free study. Students who don’t live with their parents also receive an additional monthly grant to assist with housing and living costs. Danes invest in education through higher taxes providing the government with the funding necessary to invest in education and other important social programs.(1)

But nevertheless, here is link to a classic five minute bit which provides the overview within which I would consider your kind of questions:

Party Name 1. What is your party’s position on establishing a national adult literacy policy?

10 Christian Heritage Party A national literacy policy would need to be free from the political indoctrination that has become part of our education. A literacy policy should deal with academics and not sexuality. It should be made available to adults and it should develop skills in reading, writing, mathematics and the sciences; social matters must be excluded.

10 Christian Heritage Party It’s very easy to say that money will be thrown at a problem but CHP Canada believes that, for the sake of future generations, our deficit must be eliminated and our loans repaid. This benefits all Canadians by increasing our take home pay. We would be prepared to look at a plan brought forth by the provinces and consider it with a Sunset Clause in place..

10 Christian Heritage Party Schools on-reserve must work to the same standards as off-reserve. Teachers should be from within their culture and, as with all schooling, the curriculum should deal with academics and not social programming.
Newcomers to Canada should be able to speak one of our official languages. There should be curriculum to bring them up to the accepted Canadian level. This will ensure that children are quickly moved into the age appropriate age in schools, and adults quickly integrated into a work environment.
Online courses should be available to ensure language minority communities have access to education in the official language of their choice.
