By which level of government is publicly funded education provided?

  1. Federal government

  2. The provinces and territories

  3. Local municipalities

  4. Non-governmental organizations

The correct answer is: The provinces and territories

Publicly funded education is provided by the provinces and territories. This is because, as it is not mentioned in the Canadian Constitution, education falls under provincial jurisdiction. While the federal government does provide some funding for education, the primary responsibility lies with the provinces and territories. Local municipalities may have some involvement in certain aspects of education, but they do not have the main responsibility for providing publicly funded education. Non-governmental organizations may offer education programs, but they are not responsible for providing publicly funded education. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
