Religious Education in Quebec

A

Before 80s/90s, schools were divided by catholic and protestant (and 3 first nations school districts).

Minority religious groups felt this was unfair. In year 2005, implementation of ERC program (Ethics and religious culture) as a mandatory curriculum in all schools (even private). Much opposition.
