Supporting Your Advocacy Efforts
Did you know that CPF gathers statistics from the ministries and departments of Education of every province and territory? Each year, we compile enrolment statistics to provide an overview of FSL education trends across Canada!
Highlights from the 2021-2022 edition:
- At the national level, total enrolment in FSL programs continues to remain stable albeit stagnant.
- Regarding the overall percentage of students in an FSL program, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories and Ontario keeps growing steadily.
- French immersion enrolment in British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Ontario and the Yukon either grew modestly or remained stable.
- Core French keeps steadily growing in Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Ontario and in Canada overall.
We recommend you use this document to support your advocacy efforts, as it will allow you to show stakeholders the hard data behind the current situation of FSL education in your province or territory. What better way to start the conversation on how to address potential issues?
* CPF publishes the French as a Second Language Enrolment Statistics annually but does not publish same-year statistics as not all ministries are able to finalize data in time for publication.
