School governance : the implementation of Section 23 of the Charter. : SF31-36/1998E-PDF

"The significance of schools for the health and vitality of official minority language communities is reflected in Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter). Constitutionally entrenched in 1982, this Section defines the rights of all Canadians to have their children educated in their own official language. While access to minority language education (were it English or French) existed in some parts of Canada prior 1982, the advance of Section 23 of the Charter underscored a national commitment to ensuring that such opportunities be available throughout the country. In effect, the constitutional rights guaranteed in Section 23 provided a much needed impetus for reform of publicly funded school systems aimed at improving the access, delivery and quality of minority language education"--Introduction, page [5].
