 Au Canada, malgré la massification de l'enseignement supérieur, des inégalités de persévérance persistent. Au Québec, des recherches ont permis d'identifier les régions de provenance des jeunes pour lesquels le taux de décrochage au secondaire et au postsecondaire est plus élevé, entre autres les Caraïbes et l'Amérique centrale et du Sud. Dans cette étude qualitative, une analyse inductive et rétrospective des récits de vie de 24 jeunes fréquentant le postsecondaire à Montréal, dont les parents sont nés dans les Caraïbes ou en Amérique latine, a été réalisée. Notre analyse critique relève les effets inégalitaires perçus de l'action scolaire et de l'environnement sur leur vécu. En conclusion, des pistes de réflexion sont évoquées afin de développer de manière systémique des pratiques d'équité. abstract  In Canada, despite a generally broadened access to higher education, inequalities pertaining to perseverance persist. Regarding minority students who have higher secondary and postsecondary dropout rates in Québec, research has identified their regions of provenance; namely, the Caribbean and Central and South America. In this qualitative study, we analyse the life histories of 24 students attending postsecondary institutions in Montreal whose parents were born in the Caribbean and Latin America. Our analysis brings to light the perceived inequity resulting from school action and the social environment on young people's experiences. We conclude with some reflections oriented toward developing systemic practices of equity.

Presentation of the special issue regarding African Canadian educational excellence

This article aims to describe and understand the postsecondary education pathway morphology of Canadian youth from the province of Quebec with immigrant family origins, as well as the factors that contribute to its structuration. Results from a subsample of 20,387 students reveal that they generally acces postsecondary education and follow a linear pathway at higher rates than their peers whose parents were born in Canada. However, significant differences exist between first and second-generation immigrants, as well as when parental geographic region of origin is considered. In conclusion, several possible interpretations are proposed.
