RRM <\/span>replies <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Pr<\/span>e<\/span>sent!<\/span>\u201d<\/span> to the MEQ\u2019s catch-up <\/span>plan<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Following the Quebec government\u2019s announcement of its school catch-up plan, R\u00e9seau r\u00e9ussite Montr\u00e9al (RRM) has leapt into action to help make it a reality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The RRM and its partners are currently identifying priority actions to help the most at-risk students, to be implemented by Spring Break and over the course of the coming year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Catching up at school: the open letter by Andr\u00e9e Mayer-P\u00e9riard<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Chair of the R\u00e9seau qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois pour la r\u00e9ussite \u00e9ducative and Executive Director of R\u00e9seau r\u00e9ussite Montr\u00e9al\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the students impacted by this school stoppage were the same cohort who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, and we know that accumulating risk factors increases the risk of dropping out.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It will take efforts from all facets of society \u2013 from the education sector, naturally, but also from parents and employers \u2013 to get through this critical period. Let\u2019s work together!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back-to-class campaign<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

RRM is also taking part in a province-wide micro-campaign, led by the R\u00e9seau qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois pour la r\u00e9ussite \u00e9ducative, to raise awareness of how the school interruption has impacted some students\u2019 motivation to graduate. The campaign reminds everyone that students belong in school and that we can all play a role to this end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning loss among at-risk students\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

During lengthy school interruptions, most students (children, teens, and young adults) forget a portion of what they learned in school, especially in mathematics, reading, and writing. This loss of learning is normal and understood.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this phenomenon does not affect all students equally. Upon returning to class, some will have forgotten more than others. <\/span>Such students thus risk having fallen behind compared to their peers when they return to school.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This regression can have repercussions on the rest of the school year, and even on their long-term educational journey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
