Title
Départs et abandons scolaires au niveau secondaire selon la langue d’enseignement, Québec, 1972-1973 à 1977-1978
Abstract
In Quebec schools in the 1970s, school leaving, slightly more accentuated in English schools than in French schools, affected about 140,000 high school students each year. The authors estimate that departures from French secondary schools were more often without a diploma and at a slightly higher average age than in English secondary schools. They observed that the proportion of graduates leaving school tended to increase with age in French schools; among the departures in English schools, this proportion reached a maximum at 16-17 years and then declined. They found that the phenomenon of the departure of non-graduates averaged almost 44,000 per year during their observation period. The dropout rates varied with the cohorts: in the French schools, they dropped from 82 per 1,000 in 1972-1973 to 59 per 1,000 in 1977-1978; in the English schools, they dropped from 60 per 1,000 to 37 per 1,000 over the same period.
