 Canadian History: The 1960s   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

During the pre-Quiet Revolution era in Quebec, most teachers--nearly forty percent--had not completed their own high school educations, and those who did graduate from a secondary school did not complete a college education.[31] These teachers were not properly trained to be good educators, especially with the modernization of Quebec society taking place in the 1960s.
For the French-speaking majority residing in Quebec, "free choice" of the language of schooling represented a serious threat to the survival of Quebecois culture and language.[57] The preservation of Quebec's culture was one of the most significant components of the secondary education reforms of the 1960s.
