Title |
Maps and Key Facts on Schooling in English-Language Schools in Quebec, 2021
|
Abstract |
The author notes that in 2021, for the very first time in a census, information was collected on instruction in the minority official language at the primary and secondary levels (i.e., English in Quebec and French in Canada outside Quebec). According to the 2021 Census results, 230,075 school-aged children were eligible for instruction in English in Quebec, 76% of whom were schooled or had been schooled at an English-language primary or secondary school in Canada. The number of children eligible for instruction in English and the proportion who were attending or had attended an English-language school varied across regions in Quebec and from one place to another within the same region. Whether or not eligible children attended an English-language school reflected parents’ choices about schools, which may have been related to factors beyond the choice of language of instruction, such as the proximity of schools and the quality of programs. This document comprises a series of maps of the regions of Quebec, with key facts on the municipalities in question. It aims to highlight the municipalities where eligible school-aged children were living and the respective proportions of eligible children who were attending or had attended an English-language school. The author contends that these maps will inform parents, school authorities and other decision makers in education about the municipalities where instruction in the minority official language could be developed, expanded or made more accessible.
