Canadian disapointment

These days have been the occasion of a reevaluation of my perception of Canadian culture.
First I have learned that 1 young people upon 3 in Quebec is analphabet or quasi-analphabet. I was just shocked.
Second, I learn today that only 40% of Canadians, according to a study of the Institute of Canadian Studies, are able to say how many people died in the nazi death camps. And only 70% actually know that Jews were the first targets of the Holocaust.
What is wrong with that country? I thought before coming to Canada that it was one of the most important supporting country for education. Seemingly, this is not true. Maybe the problem is eslewhere. As education does not depend on the federal state but on provinces, one could suppose that it is the responsability and the fault of each state if its population does not know enough. But it's Canadian interest to have a properly educated population.
Well, I was just highly disapointed.
