Title
The Past Went That-a-Way: Enrolment in English Education in Quebec
Abstract
The author explains that the post-1979 projections for English schools "show a hair-raising and far steeper decline in enrolments than the government seems to have anticipated, and no foreseeable chance of recovery beyond that under the present terms of admission." He points out that the chief cause of this reduction, to what appears certain to be a radical and permanent change in its relative strength, was the flight from the province of large numbers of the next child-bearing generation of English speakers. He argues that this emigration was a result of the socio-political climate and arising indirectly, rather than directly, from the actions of the governments of Quebec.
