Spotlight on success : success in cegep : looking back and looking forward

Abstract

"Student success in higher education is a complex and boundless topic. For years, success plans have followed one another, support measures have multiplied and the many stakeholders involved have tried to understand the "challenges" facing the student population. The Fédération des cégeps added its voice to those of other organizations by publishing the report La réussite au cégep: regards rétrospectifs et prospectifs [Student success in college: looking back and looking forward, Ed.], which takes stock of two decades of student success efforts at the college level and presents avenues for future action, strongly oriented toward the classroom. The challenge is to mobilize and, above all, to provide adequate tools to the main stakeholders in this complex learning environment in order to make it a place where everything is possible. Pédagogie collégiale offers a series of two articles—a summary of the report published by the Fédération des cégeps and an interview with the coordinator of the work on student success by the Fédération des cégeps, Ms. Carole Lavoie—in order to better identify the issues and avenues for reflection underlying student success in college."-- AQPC
