The education system of Quebec, administered by the government of Quebec's [[Ministry of Education and Higher Education (Quebec)|Ministry of Education and Higher Education]], differs from those of other Canadian provinces. The province has five levels of education: first {{ill|Preschool, primary and secondary education in Quebec|lt=preschool, then primary school, then secondary school|fr|Éducation préscolaire, primaire et secondaire au Québec}}; then [[CEGEP]] (see [[College education in Quebec]]); and finally [[Higher education in Quebec|university or college]]. Attached to these levels are the options to also attend [[professional development]] opportunities, [[Andragogy|classes for adults]], and [[continuing education]]. For every level of teaching, there exists a public network and private network: the public network is financed by taxes while the private options must be paid for by the student. In 2020, [[school boards]] were replaced by [[school service centre]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bill 40, An Act to amend mainly the Education Act with regard to school organization and governance |publisher=National Assembly of Québec|url=http://www.assnat.qc.ca/en/travaux-parlementaires/projets-loi/projet-loi-40-42-1.html?appelant=MC|accessdate=August 23, 2020}}</ref>

All universities in Quebec exist by virtue of laws adopted by the [[National Assembly of Quebec]] in 1967 during the [[Quiet Revolution]]. Their financing mostly comes from public taxes, but the laws under which they operate grants them more autonomy than other levels of education.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/fileadmin/site_web/documents/PSG/politiques_orientations/rapport_comiteCS_mai2014v3p.pdf |title=Rapport comite|publisher=Government of Quebec|accessdate=September 12, 2021}}</ref>
