Education
1920’s

2. Education for immigrants
After World War I ended and the roaring twenties started, many changes took place in the modernization of education.
Due to the huge baby boom after World War I, there was a large demand for more teachers because there were so many young children in need of education.(student's attendance rose from 1 million in 1914 to 4 million by 1926)This sudden demand required large amounts of teachers to come into the education system in order to help children get the education they needed. This would cause the eventual rapid growth of the educated middle class.

3. Education in New France
During the French regime in Canada, the process of learning was integrated into everyday life. While the French government supported the responsibility of the Catholic Church for teaching religion, mathematics, history, natural science, and French,families relied on the economic contributions of their children, who were actively engaged in productive activity. Children learned skills such as gardening, spinning and land clearing from other family members. Young males were trained for various trades through an apprenticeship system.
Note:
New France is what we call Quebec now!

4. No married women teachers were allowed to work
did you know
Teachers
the teaching profession includes only those who are licensed by the provincial and territorial authorities to provide instruction to elementary and secondary students in publicly supported schools. The gradual development of publicly supported school systems in the early 1800s was the critical factor in the creation of Canada's teaching profession.

Teachers suffered much more in the 1920s than they do today from the low social status accorded their work. Prompted by pay, the young American Federation of Teachers demanded a $2,000 minimum annual salary at the end of the decade, and a maximum "which would provide a cultural real wage enabling the teachers to live according to the requirements of their position." But low pay was just the beginning of the story leading to teacher unionism. Working conditions and civil liberties in the United States were under widespread attack by ultraconservative forces; the condition of teachers mirrored these broader social problems. Most teachers resented but felt helpless before the serious limitations placed on their academic freedom and job security by autocratic school boards and school administrations. A few brave teachers found ways to challenge these circumstances.
