Quebec auditor general to examine classroom management in preschools and elementary schools

Quebec’s auditor general is set to review classroom management in preschools and elementary schools across the province, as schools face more violent incidents and a growing number of students with individualized education plans. Teachers’ unions and school administrators say the issue has become harder to manage in recent years, with heavier workloads, more classroom disruption and limited training for new teachers. They hope the report will lead to practical recommendations and more support for educators. The review is expected to look at whether classrooms are still supportive learning environments. Its findings are due next spring and could shape future education policy and funding decisions in Quebec.
