Abstract

The curse of being the “new, new” thing was initially hung around the neck of the current incarnation of Quebec’s ‘recognition of prior learning’ program. However, this has changed as the program has evolved into a working service for Quebec residents. This article will examine the current public offering of the recognition of prior learning program in Quebec school boards and colleges, and will briefly discuss the historical context of the program in the province of Quebec.

LA RECONNAISSANCE DES ACQUIS AU QUÉBEC : PRATIQUES ACTUELLES

La malédiction d’être la « nouvelle, nouvelle » saveur a initialement plombé la mise en œuvre du programme québécois actuel de reconnaissance des acquis. Or, cette situation a changé avec l’évolution du programme en service à l’emploi offert aux Québécois. Dans cet article, l’auteur analyse l’offre actuelle des commissions scolaires et collèges québécois en termes de reconnaissances des acquis. De plus, elle aborde sommairement le contexte historique du programme au Québec.
