The English Parents’ Committee Association of Quebec (EPCA) extends its congratulations to the Parti Québécois and its leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, on their victory in the 2026 Quebec provincial election.

We also congratulate all those who put their names forward to serve Quebecers and everyone elected to the National Assembly.

EPCA looks forward to building a positive and constructive relationship with the new government and to working together on the issues that matter most to students, parents and families across Quebec.

As the provincial voice of parents in Quebec’s English public education system, we will continue to advocate for strong public education, meaningful parent engagement, student success, and the vitality and accessibility of English-language education throughout the province.

We look forward to the conversations, collaboration and important work ahead.

📢 Helping parents navigate AI in education

Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important part of young people’s everyday lives, including at school. As its use continues to grow, parents are understandably asking questions about what AI means for their children’s learning, as well as the opportunities and potential risks it presents.

To help families better understand this rapidly evolving technology, Obvia - Observatoire sur les impacts sociétaux de l’IA et du numérique , in collaboration with the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec (MEQ), has launched a series of five short videos and accompanying infographics designed specifically for parents.

EPCA is proud to have been consulted and to have participated as a member of the committee that helped bring these resources to parents across Québec.

📊 Research conducted by Obvia and CIRANO for the MEQ found that 65.3% of Québec parents surveyed believe AI can offer significant benefits in education, while up to 75% also perceive risks associated with its use.

The five-part series helps make AI more accessible and easier to understand, demystifying how it is being used, exploring its opportunities and challenges, and giving parents reliable information to better understand its role in their children’s education.

🎥 All five videos and accompanying infographics are now available on the École ouverte (Open School) platform.

As AI continues to transform education, parents need to be part of the conversation.
