The school closest to home : proximity of French-language elementary schools and enrolment in the Maritime provinces / by Étienne Lemyre.: CS75-006/2024-3E-PDF
"This study examines enrolment in French-language elementary schools in the Maritime provinces—i.e., New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island—according to the distance between children's homes and French- and English-language schools. The study is based on data from the 2021 Census of Population, which provides information on whether children attend minority official language schools, and on data from the 2022 Open Database on Educational Facilities, which includes information on the location of elementary schools and the language of the school authority. Elementary school is a pivotal place of learning and socialization in the lives of young children. Attending French-language school is important for the intergenerational transmission of the language and its preservation"--Overview of the study, page 1.
