LEgal Aspect
ACPEQ’S position
In summary
So that our members may be aware of how they are being
represented
at the Ministry of Education (MELS), here are the points that were
succinctly presented to them, jointly with HSLDA:
- Freedom of
choice with regards to curriculum.
In other words, this means that parents may freely exercise their
choice of content in the instruction being provided, whether they adopt
the ministry’s curriculum or not.
- Alternatives
for evaluation that the vast majority of parents can agree
to and that meet the requirements of the Education Act.
- Withdrawal of
any threat or intervention of Youth Protection Services
for homeschooling families where it is a question of administrative
procedures with the school board.
