Interpretation

The obligation to attend school is established in section 14 of the Education Act (R.S.Q. c. I-13.3):

"14. Every child resident in Québec shall attend school from the first day of the school calendar in the school year following that in which he attains 6 years of age until the last day of the school calendar in the school year in which he attains 16 years of age or at the end of which he obtains a diploma awarded by the Minister, whichever occurs first."
