Summary
Bill 895, introduced by MNA Ruba Ghazal of Mercier, proposes establishing a common school network in Quebec with the goal of guaranteeing equal opportunities for all students. The bill was first introduced during the 43rd Legislature's 1st Session and was re-instated in the 2nd Session in October 2025. The bill appears to address inequalities between different types of schools in Quebec, likely targeting the divide between public and private (subsidized) schools. By creating a common network, the bill aims to ensure that all students, regardless of their background or where they live, have access to the same quality of education and resources. This is a private member's bill, meaning it was introduced by an individual MNA rather than the government. It reflects ongoing debates in Quebec about educational equity, particularly concerns that the current two-tier system — with public schools and heavily subsidized private schools — creates unequal outcomes for students from different socioeconomic backgrounds.
