A new report published by the Observatoire québécois des inégalités provides an overview of education in Québec, focusing on access issues. The report reveals that postsecondary education participation in QC has significantly increased over the past three decades, in large part due to the cégep system. However, the report also identifies significant socioeconomic disparities in postsecondary access and graduation. The report concludes by recommending that QC’s postsecondary institutions document and address the barriers faced by students from less advantaged backgrounds to ensure their educational success. Researchers from the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Université du Québec à Montréal, Université de Montréal, and Université du Québec à Chicoutimi collaborated to produce the report.
