Quebec’s education minister is asking a school in the Charlevoix region to reconsider its decision to force students to choose between sports-oriented programs and advanced math and science.

Bernard Drainville’s office says he wants École secondaire du Plateau in La Malbaie, Que., to look for another solution, after the minister heard complaints from parents and citizens.
