The Quebec education system is a flexible cornerstone of our society that prepares people to be successful throughout their lives, evolving to accommodate the needs of our changing society. To get an overview of this system, this workshop by graduate students Robin Long and Lazaros Kalipolidis took a brief look at where the current system came from, the goals and mandate of education in Quebec today, and how the Ministry of Education took into consideration access to education, individual education pathways and the needs of specific populations in the Quebec Education Project.
Exploring the organisational and governing structures of the system, and attendees were introduced to how all this works in personal testimonials about education experiences as students and employees of the MEQ.
One participant noted that “since we are from different parts of education, it was a great opportunity to collaborate in a space where we wouldn’t normally have had an opportunity to do so.”
The presenters have graciously agreed to share their PowerPoint presentation.
The EmpowerGrad workshops are being organized by CSLP Student Representative Amanda Sidiras.
