SCHEDULE 2 – Newfoundland and Labrador's action plans related to minority language education and second language instruction - 2005-06 to 2008-09

Preamble

Annexe 2 : Action Plan for Regular Programs

Annexe 2 : Action Plan for Additional Strategies

PREAMBLE

Two action plans, each organized by linguistic objective, that of French first language and French second language, are presented here: the Regular Funds Action Plan and the Additional Strategies Action Plan. The Regular Funds action plan addresses the ongoing provision of opportunities to Newfoundland and Labrador residents in French first language education and French second language instruction. This represents a continuation of the support by the Government of Canada to offset the additional costs incurred by Newfoundland and Labrador in the areas of educational structure and support, program development, teacher training and student support. The new Additional Strategies action plan is intended to meet the province's objectives in the context of Canada's Action Plan for Official Languages Education as set out in Schedule 3. Additional strategies are intended to increase the number of young Newfoundlanders and Labradorians with a facility in both official languages, and to increase the rate of participation in French first language programs in this province.

French Second Language

Newfoundland and Labrador has legal responsibility for the provision of programs and services in education from Kindergarten to grade 12. In the area of French second language instruction, the province has the following approved programs: Core French, grades 4 to 12; early French immersion, Kindergarten to grade 12; late French immersion, grades 7 to 12; and Intensive Core French in grade 6. French second language must be offered to students from grade 4 to grade 9.

The following table shows enrolments in French second language programs in the province over the last five years, and total provincial enrolments in Kindergarten to grade 12 over the same period.

French second language enrolments have been declining in recent years due largely to the decline in the overall school population. However, the rate of participation in French second language programs has actually increased slightly over the past five years, from 59 percent to 62.5 percent. The Department of Education projects a further increase to 65 percent by 2008-09.

The Regular Funds French second language action plan sets out the province's strategies to provide the residents of Newfoundland and Labrador with the opportunity to learn French as a second language along with opportunities for cultural enrichment. The Additional Strategies action plan sets out measures to enhance existing programs and to establish new ones which complement existing programs and measures set out under Regular Funds. Together Regular Funds and Additional Strategies aim to enhance French second language instruction in Newfoundland and Labrador in terms of participation rates and the quality of programs offered.

The Department of Education has relied on a range of sources in the development of its action plans. Existing action plans in official languages and activity reports, published in accordance with the terms and conditions of the federal-provincial bilateral agreement, served to establish the framework for this process. The Government of Canada's position, as set out in Canada's Action Plan for Official Languages, contributed as well to the information base. The Department of Education consulted stakeholders in the area of French second language instruction to seek their input. These included school districts, teachers and parents. Issues related to French second language instruction were identified and suggestions were sought for incorporation into the action plan.

In developing these action plans, the following characteristics of the Newfoundland and Labrador situation were taken into account:

  • a very low birth rate;
  • an out-migration of families with school-age children;
  • a small population widely dispersed throughout the province;
  • the need for more French teachers, to support growing French second language programs.

In this context, the action plans place priority on the promotion of French second language instruction, the recruitment of French second language teachers, the revitalization of French immersion and Core French programs, and increased support of secondary and postsecondary opportunities in the area of French second language.

The Department of Education collects information, both statistical and qualitative, on an annual basis on the performance of the education system. Specifically, statistical information is published on an annual basis in the Education Statistics - Elementary - Secondary report. The contents of this report will provide data for the analysis of expected results.

In addition to statistical information, the Department of Education also administers various tests and examinations to students throughout the province. Assessment reports based on student results are a key component of the Department of Education's communication with parents and the public with respect to the quality of education in the province. These quality indicators include criterion-referenced tests at Grades 3, 6 and 9, as well as public examinations administered to students enrolled in selected courses at the secondary level. The Department of Education administers public examinations on an annual basis to Core French and French immersion students. These examinations are developed and validated by committees of teachers and administered throughout the province. They attest to levels of performance in various areas of the curriculum.

 
 

French First Language

With respect to French minority language education, Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives francophones in minority situations the right to manage and control the education services provided from public funds for their children. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the Schools Act, 1997 gave effect to this right by enabling the establishment of the Conseil scolaire francophone provincial and by giving it exclusive responsibility to operate French first language schools.

Since 1997, the Conseil scolaire francophone provincial, in cooperation with the Department of Education, has administered five French first language programs in the province: in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador City, Cape St. George, Mainland, and St. John's. The table presents the enrolments in these schools over a five-year period.

French first language enrolments have been largely declining in recent years, though there is an increase in 2005-06 of approximately 5% over 2004-05, principally in the St John's school. Declining enrolments are largely a reflection of declining birthrates within the province. The Department of Education is projecting an increase in enrolments of 10% by 2008-09, to 224 students, thereby contributing to the achievement of the objectives set out by the Government of Canada.

The Regular Funds French first language action plan sets out the province's strategies to continue support of the francophone education system and make French first language education available to rightholders. The Additional Strategies action plan sets out measures to enhance existing programs, and to establish new programs which complement existing programs and measures set out under Regular Funds. Together they aim to enhance French first language education in Newfoundland and Labrador, in terms of the overall quality of the system and of the programs offered, as well as participation rates.

The Department of Education has relied on a range of sources in the development of its action plans. Existing action plans in official languages and activity reports published in accordance with the terms and conditions of the federal-provincial bilateral agreement served to establish the framework for this process. The Government of Canada's position, as set out in Canada's Action Plan, contributed as well to the information base. The Department of Education consulted representatives of the French first language minority community to seek their input. These included school districts, teachers and parents. Their contribution was sought relative to current and emerging needs in this area. Department of Education officials also met regularly with staff of the Conseil scolaire francophone provincial to confirm priorities and elaborate strategies. Issues raised by the Conseil scolaire were taken into consideration as the strategies of the provincial action plan were developed.

In developing these action plans, the following characteristics of the situation of the French first language population in Newfoundland and Labrador were taken into account:

  • a very low birth rate;
  • an out-migration of families with school-age children;
  • a small population, widely dispersed throughout the province;
  • a tendency among right holders to choose majority language schools.

In this context, the action plans place priority on the enhancement of existing school programs, the promotion of French first language education, the recruitment and retention of students, the recruitment and retention of teachers, enhanced access to education through web-based programs and courses, early childhood education, and school- and community-based cultural programs.

The Department of Education collects information, both statistical and qualitative, on an annual basis on the performance of the education system. Specifically, statistical information is published on an annual basis in the Education Statistics - Elementary - Secondary report. The contents of this report will provide data for the analysis of expected results.
