The organization of education in Quebec shows the evolution of its educational system from the 1600s to the present day.
It's a reference tool for students, teachers, principals, school trustees and parents to learn about the history of education in Quebec.
This book presents the historical and socio-political principles that gave rise to the Quebec school system. We'll look at the history and analyze the national educational project and language policies in Quebec.
This volume also introduces us to the key structures of our school system, including public and private schools, CEGEPs, universities, the union movement, the roles and functions of the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur (MEES), not to mention daycare centers.
Finally, the Vademecum presents the curricula for pre-school, primary and secondary education, as well as andragogy (adult education) and gerontagogy (education for the elderly), two fields that are set to expand considerably in the years ahead.
Finally, the compendium explains the various laws that influence the legal environment of the Quebec school system: the Civil Code, the Criminal Code, the Youth Protection Act, the Act respecting health services and social services, the Act respecting occupational health and safety and the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases.
The contents of this handbook provide a comprehensive inventory of Quebec's education system in the 21st century.
