This is an image with two Venn diagrams. Each Venn diagram represents a different geographic area.

The first Venn diagram represents the number and percentage of eligible children in Quebec in 2021, based on the eligibility criteria. On the left, a circle represents the number, namely 80,000, and the percentage, 26.4%, of children eligible on account of the parents' education. On the right, a circle represents the number, namely 105,000, and the percentage, 34.5%, of children eligible on account of the children's education. In the centre of the first diagram, the two circles intersect, representing the number, namely 119,000, and the percentage, 39.0%, of children eligible on account of the parents' and children's education.

Above the first diagram is the total number, namely 304,000, and the percentage, 100.0%, of eligible children in Quebec in 2021.

The second Venn diagram represents the number and percentage of eligible children in Canada outside Quebec in 2021, based on the eligibility criteria. On the left, a circle represents the number, namely 89,000, and the percentage, 15.1%, of children eligible on account of the parents' education. On the right, a circle represents the number, namely 187,000, and the percentage, 31.5%, of children eligible on account of the children's education. The bottom centre circle in the diagram represents the number, namely 55,000, and the percentage, 9.2%, of children eligible on account of the parents' mother tongue. At the left centre, the left and bottom centre circles intersect, representing the number, namely 67,000, and the percentage, 11.3%, of children eligible on account of the parents' education and mother tongue. In the right centre, the right and bottom circles intersect, representing the number, namely 26,000, and the percentage, 4.4%, of children eligible on account of the children's education and the parents' mother tongue. In the centre at the top, the left and right circles intersect, representing the number, namely 53,000, and the percentage, 8.9%, of children eligible on account of both the parents' and children's education. In the very centre, the three previous circles intersect, representing the number, namely 117,000, and the percentage, 19.7%, of children eligible on account of the parents' instruction, the children's education and the parents' mother tongue.

Above the second diagram is the total number, namely 593,000, and the percentage, 100.0%, of eligible children in Canada outside Quebec in 2021.
