Bill on the National Student Ombudsman: the Commission questions the handling of discrimination situations

Indeed, the relationship between discrimination and denial of services seems to be completely obscured by the bill. Yet, over the past five years, the Commission has opened 147 investigation files on access and delivery of services in preschool, primary and secondary education.
