Curriculum That Prepares Students for Real Life

We must rethink what it means to be “educated” in the 21st century. A high school curriculum that ignores life skills or fails to adapt to individual learning needs is outdated and unjust. The CaPQ will introduce mandatory high school courses in World History, Life Sciences, and Financial Literacy to ensure students graduate with global awareness, scientific literacy, and a real understanding of personal finance.

To address Quebec’s chronic youth and adult literacy challenges, The CaPQ will promote individualized education plans that adapt teaching methods to student needs, not vice versa. In addition, we propose the creation of an optional Grade 12 year in both public and private schools for students who don’t wish to attend CEGEP but have demonstrated academic strength (average above 80%). This offers a new, flexible pathway that aligns more closely with the rest of Canada and international systems.

What this means for Quebecers:

• A more practical, well-rounded education that prepares students for life and work

• Reduced dropout rates and higher literacy through personalized support

Alternative pathways for high achievers that keep doors open without CEGEP
