Abstract

In Canada, despite a generally broadened access to higher education, inequalities pertaining to perseverance persist. For these students who have higher secondary and postsecondary dropout rates in Quebec, research has allowed for the identification of their regions of provenance: the Caribbean and Central and South America.  In this qualitative study, an inductive life story analysis of 24 students attending postsecondary institutions in Montreal, whose parents were born in the Caribbean and Latin America, was undertaken. Our critical analysis tends to bring to light the perceived inequity effects of school action and environment on the youth’s experiences. We conclude by evoking purposeful reflection, in order to develop systematic practices of equity.
