Executive summary : Horizon 2018 : toward stronger support of French-language learning in British Columbia.: Y9-26/2017E-PDF

“Canadians living in British Columbia face major challenges in accessing Francophone schools and French immersion programs. In this report, the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages chose to focus on accessing French first-language and French second-language education in British Columbia because the province is a typical case in which francophone schools and French immersion programs face significant challenges. These challenges, however, are not unique to B.C. and the lessons learned in this report can also be applied in other jurisdictions. The current report builds on the committee’s 2015 report called Aiming Higher: Increasing bilingualism of our Canadian youth. The conclusions and recommendations of the committee’s report apply to francophone schools, French immersion programs and British Columbia’s French-speaking community at large, including francophones and francophiles, and the support they are entitled to"--p. i, ii.
