Section 23 applies to minority language educational rights of which groups?

• A. It guarantees minority language educational rights to French-speaking communities outside Quebec and to English-speaking minorities in Quebec.
• B. It guarantees equal funding for all schools regardless of language.
• C. It mandates English-only schooling in Canada.
• D. It requires all provinces to have bilingual signage.

Answer: (A)

Section 23 protects the rights of linguistic minorities to receive education in their own language. It applies to two groups: French-speaking communities outside Quebec and English-speaking minorities within Quebec. This means that, where there are enough students, schools must offer elementary and secondary instruction in the minority language so children can be educated in that language. The other options don’t fit because Section 23 is about minority-language education rights, not funding guarantees, English-only schooling, or bilingual signage.
