Les compétences bien sûr, mais pas seulement
L'influence des compétences cognitives en lecture sur la participation aux études postsecondaires chez les jeunes Canadiens
This report examines how the competencies acquired by young Canadians at age 15 influence their
participation in post secondary studies. These competencies are measured through the PISA results which
were obtained through a sample of Canadian students who took the PISA test in 2000 at age 15. The report
seeks to answer the following questions:
• How do the results of the PISA reading tests influence the choice to go on to post secondary
studies?
• How do the PISA results influence the choice to go to university or college?
• How do the PISA results influence the choice to study different subjects at post secondary level?
• How do the PISA results influence the choice to keep students on throughout post secondary
studies?
• How do the above factors vary between young immigrants and young Canadians by birth and
between linguistic minorities (francophones outside of Québec and anglophones from Québec)
and other young Canadians (francophones from Québec and anglophones from the rest of
Canada).
