Quebec Teachers Should Be Evaluated Every Two Years, New Plan Says After Bedford Saga

Date:

Quebec teachers should undergo evaluations every two years and all religious activities should be banned in schools, including after hours.

Those recommendations are part of an action plan released today by two independent advisers appointed by the province after a controversy at a Montreal elementary school.

The 12-page document contains 24 recommendations for staff at Bedford school and 10 broader changes that would affect schools across the province.

It comes following a government report last October that revealed a group of teachers had imposed autocratic rule at the school, including physical and psychological violence toward students and staff.

Many of the teachers were of North African descent, and Premier François Legault has said they were trying to “introduce Islamist religious concepts into a public school.”

Eleven teachers at Bedford school have been suspended and are under investigation.
