Title
L’évolution démolinguistique des jeunes Québécois de 5-14 ans entre 1971 et 1977 d’après les fichiers du ministère de l’Éducation
Abstract
The author points out that every year, Quebec's Ministry of Education provides demolinguistic statistics on children in the province's school system. Examining the mother-tongue and language of instruction of students between 5 and 14 years of age for the period 1971-1977, he determined that the proportion of students in French schools decreased between 1971 and 1975, but increased in 1976 and 1977. He also discovered that while the proportion of French students in French schools follows closely the percentage of students with a French mother tongue, there were more children in English language schools than there were young mother-tongue English speakers. He concludes that Allophone young people were, to a large extent, attending English language schools, but the proportion going to French language schools was increasing. He also found that by 1976, the number of Anglophone students attending French-language schools was also increasing.
