Editing Education in Quebec (section)

===Language in schools===
Quebec has publicly funded French and English schools. In publicly funded primary and secondary schools, according to the [[Charter of the French Language]], all students must attend a [[French language]] school, except:
* students with a parent who did most of their elementary or secondary studies in [[English language|English]] in Canada and is also a Canadian citizen
* students who have already done all or most of their elementary or secondary studies in English in Canada, or who have a sibling who has received most of their education in English in Canada, as long as a parent is a Canadian citizen.

Many attend publicly funded English schools. These rules do not apply to temporary residents of Quebec or [[First Nations in Canada|First Nation]] children. If a parent had the right to attend English schools, but did not, they do not lose the right for their children.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/en/parents-and-guardians/instruction-in-english/eligibility/|title=Eligibility|website=www.education.gouv.qc.ca|language=en|access-date=2019-05-05}}</ref>

English is taught as a second language in French primary schools from grade 1 onward, and a few schools also offer English immersion programs for advanced students. English schools offer a large range of programs that include French as a second language, [[French immersion]], and fully bilingual programs that teach both English and French as first languages.
