Status Report : Minority-Language Educational Rights : The Implementation of Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that before the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was enacted in 1982, the provinces alone determined what the language of instruction would be in the public schools. (This statement did not apply to Quebec, where the English Protestant education system was protected under the Constitution Act, 1867.) The author states that when the Charter was proclaimed on April 17, 1982, it brough a new dimension to the Canadian educational system; the right to instruction in the minority language that is now entrenched in the Constitution. His study deals with the current situation in Canada (circa 1996) with respect to minority-language instruction and the management of educational facilities by official-language minority groups. First, the author looks at the parameters within which these rights are exercised, and then he examines the current situation in each province and territory.
