Educating Today’s Quebec Anglophone
In this brief presented to the Minister of Education, Sports and Recreation, the Advisory Board on English Education investigates what type of education is appropriate to enable English-speaking Quebecers to be active participants in society, whether within Quebec or in the world, in the 21st century? It states that there is still need for more adaptation and improvement in the services that the English-language schools offer to their students.
The QCGN is funded by the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage.
