AMDES urges QC to delay cégep application deadline

The l’Association montréalaise des directions d’établissement scolaire (AMDES) is urging the Government of Québec to postpone the deadline for secondary school teachers to send second stage report card results to cégep admission services. AMDES asserts that this would give secondary school students who missed up to five weeks of school due to the recent strikes sufficient time to be evaluated before they apply for admission to cégeps in the Greater Montreal region. Without this delay, AMDES argues that private school secondary students will gain an advantage over public school students, since the former did not miss school due to the labour dispute.
