Time for a new crackdown on English schools.

Obviously a function of overfunding.

I’ve been looking and can’t find where the numbers come from, anyone know?

Naw, you have to think more CAQ. OF COURSE education rates are down as the French system is unfairly forced to accomodate the EXCESS OF IMMIGRANTS. Only by defunding the English and transferring the funding to rural Quebec so REAL Quebecers will be able to truly benefit f… blah blah blah /s

The recent newsletter from the NDG-Montreal West EMSB school commissioner, Joseph Lalla, had different (though still very impressive) numbers and didn’t include the claim of besting private schools, although depending on how you read it, it might still be the case:
“According to the latest statistics from the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec, in 2022, the board’s graduation rate stands at an impressive 92.7 percent, marking a slight increase from 91.6 percent in 2021. While the majority of students graduated within five years, it’s noteworthy that the Ministry allows for a two-year extension to ensure students have ample opportunities to earn their diplomas or obtain their initial qualifications. Currently, the EMSB’s six-year cohort boasts a remarkable success rate of 94.8 percent.
“The province-wide Success Rate, which includes both public and private school results, stands at 84.1 percent. Broken down further, the public system’s average is 81.6 percent while for private sector the number is 94 percent.”

True, but EMSB rates were higher than CSDM anyhow.
