Religious schools: still subsidized
Religious schools are still being subsidized by Quebec: 50 of the 165 private schools it funds are explicitly religious, and of those, 27 are Roman Catholic.

About 2/3 of Quebecers self-identify as Catholic, though probably less for the young, so that fraction seems right.

Thanks for posting this Kate. At least the article is highlighting the contradiction between Bill 21 and the funding of religious schools, even though the Ministry of Ed. does not.

If you’re going to subsidize private schools, I don’t think they need to be secular. The question of whether private schools should be subsidized is different, but given that they are, I don’t think some of them being religious is necessarily an issue.
