The Resilience of the Vulnerable Minority English Education Sector During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This brief describes the vulnerabilities experienced in Québec’s English education sector, specifically in elementary and secondary schools and adult education and vocational training centres. The brief’s findings and recommendations are derived from a review of the research and from a survey conducted by ABEE. This survey (see Appendix 1) focused on the six vulnerable areas identified in the CSE report: mental health and well-being; teaching, learning and evaluation; professional development and training; governance and administration; education funding and resources; access and equity. The survey was made available in both French and English and sent to English sector teachers, administrators, parents and students. A detailed analysis of its findings is available in this brief's Research, Findings and Analysis section.
