A deal to help students at a private Jewish school in Montreal receive proper education still hasn't been implemented 10 months after it was signed, CBC's French-language service Radio-Canada has learned.

The Quebec government agreed last November to allow the Yeshiva Toras Moshe Academy to stay open, as long as students were taught the basic provincial curriculum at home.

The religious school for boys in Outremont receives no public funding and isn't certified. It has about 200 students.

The province's education ministry has been trying to shut the school down since 2006.

The ministry said the school was emphasizing religious studies to the detriment of core curriculum.

Last fall the ministry reached a deal with the school: it could remain open as long as students were taught core subjects at home.

The English Montreal School Board was tasked with overseeing and evaluating that homeschooling.

Ten months later, students still aren't being taught the provincially approved curriculum at home.

Angela Mancini, English Montreal School Board chair, told radio-Canada in an interview Wednesday that school board elections last fall delayed implementing the plan.

Mancini said since then board staff have been working with parents to perfect their teaching plans.

"That took a bit of time but I think it was worth it because it gave us the opportunity to ensure that when we do begin, we've crossed all our T's and dotted all our I's and that's where we're at," Mancini said.

She said the material will be approved within a few weeks at most, and students will be evaluated on schedule in November, February and again in June.
