Four out of ten of these respondents are interested in participating but are unable to do so because it was not offered to them. The figures being cited by the Minister don\u2019t seem to tally with the feedback we are getting from our members,\u201d says \u00a0FPSS-CSQ President \u00c9ric Pronovost.\r\n\r\nPronovost says \u201cthe $300 million earmarked for the catch-up plan will enable us to offer more services to students. If there are needs, we have to address them now, not wait until next year when we realize that not all the money has been spent and that some students never received the services to which they were entitled.\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Available staff<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThree out of four respondents not taking part in the remedial plan are actually available from one to five hours a week. Pronovost points out that \u201cthree out of four people working part-time providing direct services to students are available to help. They know the students and can act quickly. School administrators need to start counting on school support staff to achieve their objectives.\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Homework assistance and psychosocial support<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSurvey respondents participating in the remedial plan provide support to students in a variety of ways, including homework assistance (57%), individual help (41%) and specialized educational activities for special needs students (33%). Most of these staff members are special education technicians (53%) and daycare educators (27%).\r\n\r\nMany people mention the importance of psychosocial support, which they see as involving follow-up with students (83%), emotional support (60%), psychological support (44%) and follow-up with parents (44%).\r\n\r\nThe FPSS-CSQ president points out that \u201cwe have technical staff who provide psychosocial assistance for the well-being and mental health of students. When the goal is academic success, we have to consider all the different aspects of academic success to which we can contribute, because besides educational delays, there are other issues such as anxiety that must not be overlooked.\u201d\r\n\r\nPronovost concludes that \u201cthese needs have existed for many years, and we need to seize this opportunity to raise them now.\u201d","couleur":""}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite\/1429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualite"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fpss.lacsq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
