We also facilitate educational activities through L'École en réseau (networked schooling, or ÉER). Supported by the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec, the mission of ÉER is to enrich the educational environment through inter-class activities related to the Québec school curriculum. In 2021-2022, ÉER has reached nearly 320,000 students across Québec. A number of partners, including Sépaq, interact with classes in the activities. ÉER encourages collective research and active pedagogy, both oral and written. It reinforces digital literacy and its dimensions, for teachers and students alike.
