Education in Quebec

Education in Quebec is a publicly funded system that provides free primary and secondary schooling, with a unique structure including both French and English-language institutions. It is divided into elementary education (grades 1-6), secondary education (grades 7-11), and post-secondary options such as colleges (CEGEP) and universities. Education policies emphasize bilingualism and cultural identity, with curriculum tailored to Quebec’s societal and linguistic context. The system aims to promote both academic achievement and regional identity, offering a mix of public, private, and immersion programs to meet diverse student needs.
