Immigrant Background

Based on our collection of life stories (n = 25), our qualitative study seeks to better understand, after the fact, how young, immigrant-background adults in Québec negotiate ethnocultural boundaries through their post-secondary and professional orientation experiences, particularly in terms of linguistic choices. The analyses highlight the strengthening of boundaries within Québec’s educational institutions and workplaces. The results expose different examples of racism experienced by young adults in their relations with the Québec francophone majority that led them to integrate into English-language post-secondary education and workplaces. In addition, young adults from “black” and “Arabic” minorities more frequently report racist attitudes from francophone Quebecers.

Working Class Students

In recent years, the development of the global knowledge economy has rendered post-secondary education necessary for employment and earning potential, with manual labour no longer as prevalent or secure as it once was. Yet, access to post-secondary institutions continues to be stratified based on social class. To support working-class students in obtaining a post-secondary education, some countries have opened alternative public schools geared toward this purpose. This article draws on a Canadian case study of a school for working-class students whose parents do not have any post-secondary education to investigate the discourse surrounding these institutions and their goals. Using a content analysis of newspaper articles and policy documents, I find that while alternative schools certainly have the potential to increase educational attainment amongst working-class students, they may pose significant challenges to working-class identities.

And Gender

South Africa has made significant progress in raising education levels and reducing racial and gender gaps in education. Significant challenges remain, however, and progress in many dimensions has been disappointing. There continue to be substantial racial gaps in educational attainment, especially in the proportions completing secondary school and earning post-secondary qualifications. Although most learners attend nationally funded public schools, large differences persist in the quality of schools. These differences are reflected in large racial and socio-economic differences in test scores and low rankings in international comparisons. Education is strongly related to employment and earnings, with some of the steepest income-education gradients in the world. Returns to post-secondary education have increased, while there has been limited progress in access to post-secondary education. The combination of highly unequal education combined with strong effects of schooling on earnings and employment create a cycle in which inequality is transmitted across generations.

Coexistence Equilibrium

AbstractThis paper presents a mathematical model that examines the impacts of traditional and modern educational programs. We calculate two reproduction numbers. By using the Chavez and Song theorem, we show that backward bifurcation occurs. In addition, we investigate the existence and local and global stability of boundary equilibria and coexistence equilibrium point and the global stability of the coexistence equilibrium point using compound matrices.
