Those are private schools. And even if the lower grades are subsidized, grade 12 is not and is full pay.
Once you learn Quebec history, you learn that since itâs entire existence the province has been fighting to retain its French Canadian populationânot just its identity but not having people move out west, to the states, etc in the early days of the union. I am convinced the cĂ©gep system is another way to make it that much more difficult for people to leave here.
Quebec had very poor metrics when it came to the higher education system into the 60s. The CEGEP system was put in place mainly for francophone students to stay in school and get access to an extra layer of education. It had nothing to do with leaving the province but, rather better preparing the francophone student population post-secondary.
