The TPLS was designed for the college network in response to current needs, with the objective of promoting academic success for young students in Québec. Many teachers, professionals and students collaborated in the development of the test and its validation. We would like to thank them all for their valued contributions.

This project is funded by the Québec Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur (MEES) and the Canada-Québec Agreement on Minority-language Education and Second-Language Instruction.
