Historically, the publicly funded separate schools were exclusively for the children of Catholic families, who were, by way of ensuring continued support for the separate school system and also as a matter of Catholic doctrine, discouraged from enrolling in the public schools, which were officially secular but which originally maintained a degree of de facto Protestant religious education. Latterly, with a broadly secular ethos having taken hold across Canadian society and the general school population being considerably lower than in the past, enrollment by non-Catholic children in separate schools and by Catholic children in public schools has been less discouraged. This reflects that fact that curricula for all schools in Saskatchewan is set by the provincial department of education, known as Saskatchewan Learning.
