PQ seeks a plan for universities and CEGEPs

The Party Cubacois CAQ seeks a plan by the government to “ensure the quality of education in higher education institutions”, as well as “improvement in mental health care for students”.

The PQ leader, Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon, said the government wanted to study the possibility of setting up hybrid classes “especially using the fastest tests available,” which was written in a press release issued by the party on Sunday.

We do not even know when or how, ”said Sylvain Roy, a PQ spokeswoman for higher education, citing figures from the Quebec College Student Federation.
