Across the Years: A Century of Education in the Province of Quebec

Abstract |
Written by the Deputy Minister and Director of Protestant Education for Quebec, the book commemorates of the centennial of the Education Act of 1846. Under the Education Act of 1846, the principle of dichotomy based upon religion was accepted. In Montreal and Quebec City, there would be two elected boards of school commissioners, one Catholic and the other Protestant, with both types serving its own religious community. Throughout the rest of Quebec, the arrangement was different, as segregation was voluntary, with only one set of "common" schools run by elected Catholic and Protestant school boards, but, if the "common" school proved unacceptable to the minority denomination (usually Protestant), the religious minority could withdraw from the "common" school, and establish a school of its own religious preference.
