Title
The Linguistic Situation in the Education Sector, 1997-98
Abstract
According to the author, "The linguistic situation in the education sector was last assessed in 1996 by the Comité interministériel sur la situation de la langue française. The committee concluded that progress had been made with respect to French at all levels of instruction, up until 1994-95. Three school years have since gone by and this bulletin looks at the situation up until 1997-98 in terms of certain statistics and indicators that were used for the 1996 assessment. This bulletin also presents new indicators, such as the linguistic mobility rate of allophone students toward French and toward English. The bulletin is divided into three parts, according to the levels of instruction. The first part looks at preschool, elementary and secondary education, where students are directly impacted by Chapter VIII of the Charter of the French language and its regulations. The second and third parts cover college and university education, respectively. Although college and university students are not affected by the Charter, it is interesting to analyze the language choices made by students and, more specifically, by allophone students."
