StatCan data shows 300k Quebec kids eligible for English school, 76 per cent attend

 New data on the number of Canadian children who have the constitutional right to education in an official minority language will help school boards plan and allow for further research, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.

The data, which comes from the 2021 census, shows that 304,000 children in Quebec have the right to attend regular English public schools and that 593,000 children outside the province have the right to attend regular French public schools.

The census found that nearly 70 per cent of eligible school-age children attend, or have attended, a regular public school in their official minority language.
