Triple Mandate

Article 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms bestows constitutional obligations upon governments and their representatives. The Conseil scolaire fransaskois (CSF) under the Education Act (1995), represents the Ministry of Education of the Government of Saskatchewan in matters of the education of rights holders.

In order to meet these responsibilities conferred by the Charter, the Conseil has given itself a threefold mandate: academic, cultural and community.

The academic mandate comes from the rights granted to parents belonging to the linguistic minority to receive instruction in their language when the number of children so warrants.
