Rob Pierrette to pay Alexander: The development of adult education in Quebec 
This article aims to understand, historically, the development of adult learning in Quebec. We examine a specific segment of adult learning : general education of adults is a specific educational secondary program which was established during the Quiet Revolution to encourage adults returning to school and raise the level of basic skills in the adult population. Our analysis is guided by a specific question : in recent years are we facing a substitution of the educational mission. We question whether the focus should be less on the general education of adults and more on the fight against dropping out and on graduation of youth in difficulty in “classical” secondary schools ?
