[edit] Template:Education infobox

I created a template, Template:Education infobox which can give a quick at a glance demographics table for education articles. See its implementation at Education in the United States and feel free to help improve the template.--naryathegreat | (talk) 01:00, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Distinction between Private and Independent schools

Something needs to be written about this. I am no expert, but there are three types of schools in Quebec: public, private and independent. Public is 100% funded by the government and adheres to the MELS programs, private schools are subsidized (30%, 40% or 60% of their budget, can't remember which) and must also teach the government mandated material. Independent schools, as in their name, do not depend on public funds, and can teach whatever they want to whoever can pay tuition. They are exempted from Bill 101 when it comes to language of instruction (both of the school and the pupils). What I believe has changed recently, is that there was a caveat in this regard that one could send a child for one year in an English independent school (paying very high tuition compared to anywhere else), then send the kid to public or standard (subsidized) private school in English (thus avoiding all those "language/location of instruction of parents/sibling" conditions for English instruction).--Boffob 19:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reform

Is anybody planning on making a section on the "Renouveau Pédagogique" that's being implemented? I'm currently writing an essay on it, so I could make the basic outlines of such an article for experts to fill in.

[edit] Religion in school

The religion section is two years out of date. Does anybody know if religious education is still taught in Quebec public schools (& if so how)?
