Rights, schools and communities in minority contexts: 1986-2002 : toward the development of French through education, an analysis / Angéline Martel.: SF31-49/2002E-PDF
"Language planning, that is, the creation of a more equitable situation as regards the status and use of two or more languages, is based in Canada on the provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, proclaimed in 1982. Section 23 of the Charter spells out the minority language educational rights. Canadian citizens whose mother tongue is English or French and who reside in a linguistic minority community are entitled, thanks to the Charter, to have their children educated in the language of the minority. This study focuses on the specific school situation of minority Francophone communities. It describes the state of affairs that needs to be corrected, setting out objectives with regard to the target school population and proposing measures to attain these objectives"--Introduction, page 9.
