ISSUES IN URBAN EDUCATION

Authors

  • Robert E. Lavery Lakeshore School Board, Montreal

Abstract

Written by a man who has been for some years in the centre of the unusual and dramatic pressures that have been at work on the foundations of social, political and educational institutions in Quebec, this account offers a picture in action of several of the issues that are the subject of a more theoretical treatment elsewhere in this Journal. Robert Lavery considers the financial and socio-political developments among the school boards of the City of Montreal that are changing the administrator's role in the system, against a background of increasing drop-out rates and a disturbing sense of discontent with its pedagogical effectiveness.
