CANADA | Quebec Ombudsman advocates better supervision of children’s learning progress

At a time when the number of homeschooled children is on the rise in Québec, the Québec Ombudsman notes that supervision and follow up of their learning by educational institutions is spotty and sometimes inadequate.

In the investigation report it released on April 28, 2015, it recommended that the Ministère de l’Éducation, de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche (the Department) examine educational project evaluation practices and the different methods that could be used for better monitoring of homeschooled children’s learning. As Ombudsperson Raymonde Saint-Germain sees it, the issue here is respect of the right of every child to education.
