Title |
The Muslim Community and Education in Quebec: Controversies and Mutual Adaptation
|
Abstract |
The first part of the author's article deals with an overview of the socio-demographic characteristics of the Muslim community in Quebec, and of its educational experiences in Quebec schools. She then analyzes in more depth three important controversies that have targeted the Muslim community in the last 20 years, namely the teaching of Arabic at the end of the1980s; the wearing of the Muslim veil in the mid-1990s; and the reasonable accommodation debate in 2007–2008. In the third part of the article, based on a major survey of Quebec schools, the aurhoe argues that to some extent, these controversies have permitted to foster, to a certain degree, the adaptation of public schools to Muslim students’ needs.
