Quebec small school networking initiative

Overview

The organization École en réseau (ÉER) has launched a collective commitment to reduce the isolation of small schools in Quebec. The initiative encourages school staff to utilize networking to share expertise and enrich learning environments across geographic distances.

Data from the Quebec Ministry of Education for 2023-2024 indicates that small schools—defined by the ÉER as having 150 or fewer primary students and 250 or fewer secondary students—comprise approximately 30% of the province’s school buildings, totaling 872 out of 2,911 recorded buildings. The initiative aims to promote educational equity by ensuring geographic location does not limit access to resources or opportunities.
