I'm in Canada and we don't have a provincial standard. Our system is a bit different in that most cities are served by at least two public school boards - public and Catholic (there's a whole lot of history and politics behind that). In my city we actually have 4 publicly funded school boards (English, English Catholic, French and French Catholic).

This results in kids being id'ed gifted in one school but not in the one across the street or the other two down the road that your next door neighbor attends. Or maybe 3 out of the 4 of them while another kid qualifies for a different 3 out of the 4 or only 1 of the 4.

None of these are transferable though so each board labels their own. That part seems kind of nuts - there is a bit of a difference between 90 and 97 or whatever other arbitrary cut off there is.
