A complete and current portrait

In recent years in Quebec, education has been at the heart of many debates, culminating in the significant amendment of the Education Act in 2019 and 2020. This has had the effect of greatly transforming the face of the Quebec education system, particularly at the primary and secondary levels. This new edition reflects these changes, particularly with regard to the structures of the education system and the social context in which it is anchored.

Very well popularized, this work is structured around chapters devoted to the different institutions that make up the educational system. As an actor and privileged witness of its evolution, Jean-Pierre Proulx traces its origins, explains how it works and situates the major issues in simple and colorful language.

Keys to professional integration

By taming the structures of the educational system, students in educational sciences will be able to better integrate into their future professional environment. Moreover, a complete chapter is devoted to the challenges they will encounter during their first years in the field. Thus, this manual is intended to be a tool of choice to prepare students for the reality of the job market.
