PREAMBLE
1. INTRODUCTION
Since 1970, the federal government has been helping to cover the supplementary costs that the provinces and territories incur each year for education in the minority official language and instruction in the second official language. A Protocol between the Government of Canada and the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) sets out the administrative arrangements and prescribes the amount of the overall envelope and the amounts for each province and each territory. Bilateral agreements concluded pursuant to the Protocol govern the financial assistance provided to the provinces and territories by the Government of Canada.
The Canada-Ontario bilateral agreement on minority-language education and second official language instruction for 2005-2006 to 2008-2009 renews the partnership between the federal government and the Ontario government through strategies/measures to improve elementary, secondary and postsecondary education. The attached Action Plan describes measures required to meet needs identified by the French-Language Education Policies and Programs Branch of the Ministry of Education, the (French second language) Curriculum and Assessment Policy Branch of the Ministry of Education, and the Colleges Branch and the Universities Branch of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
2. OBJECTIVES OF THE AGREEMENT
This agreement has two objectives:
- To provide members of Ontario's French-language minority community with the opportunity to be educated in their own language and to benefit from cultural enrichment through exposure to their own culture.
- To provide the residents of Ontario with the opportunity to learn French as a second language and opportunities for cultural enrichment through knowledge of the culture of the other official language community.
3. FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF CANADA AND ONTARIO
Under this agreement, the Government of Canada will contribute $51.7 million annually toward the implementation of the measures described in the attached Multi-Year Action Plan. Ontario's contribution will be approximately $306 million a year, for a combined annual total of about $357.7 million.
4. OBJECTIVE I – FRENCH AS A MINORITY LANGUAGE
The measures identified in the Action Plan for Objective I are intended to provide elementary, secondary and postsecondary students with access to high-quality French-language education while resolving the various issues associated with French-language education, including those described below.
Assimilation
Assimilation is defined as the loss of one's mother tongue as one's usual language of communication. In particular, data from the 2001 Census show that the assimilation rate of Francophones in Ontario is increasing.1 The proportion of Francophones in Ontario who use English most often at home rose from 38.8% in 1996 to 40.3% in 2001.
Student retention
When students graduate from elementary to secondary school, they have to decide whether to go to a French high school or an English high school. The decline in student retention at this important transition point is accelerating. Some students choose English schools because they often have higher enrolment and can offer a wider variety of courses (an average of 53 unique courses in French schools, compared with an average of 101 unique courses in English schools). Others base their decision on the distance between the school and their homes. Thus, the attraction of pursuing an education in French at the secondary level becomes a less important consideration. Students who decide to go to an English high school are very likely to do their postsecondary studies in English. The two critical points for student retention are the transition from kindergarten to Grade 1 and from elementary to secondary school.
Student performance on provincial tests
Thanks to the provincial tests administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), the effectiveness of curricula can be assessed and new strategies can be introduced to provide teachers with the means to assist students effectively and improve their performance.
Student performance in Ontario's French-language schools is a challenge for all education stakeholders. Each year, Ontario students participate in provincial, national or international tests. The results of students attending French school are improving each year. Since 2003, the literacy and numeracy scores of Grade 6 students have risen about 8%.
Program variety in small high schools
The challenge for small high schools is to offer full programs despite their size and thereby improve student retention. Currently, a certain percentage of students decide to enrol in English schools, which can offer them a wider range of courses.
Teacher and administrator renewal
The number of applications for French teacher training programs is declining. A number of steps have been taken to increase the number of teacher training program graduates and retain existing staff.
The following key factors have an impact on the recruitment and retention of French-language teachers:
- the availability of French-language professional development courses for teachers;
- the availability of or access to French-language university programs;
- the distance that prospective teachers have to travel to obtain French-language instruction, compared with the proximity of English-language instruction;
- the starting salary; and
- competition from English school boards for teachers for immersion programs.
Educational resources
Ontario's most recent curriculum reform has been combined, since 1998, with initiatives to support the development, translation/adaptation and acquisition of educational resources for selected courses at all grade levels.
Except for a few courses that are compulsory for many students, the small numbers of students in French schools make it unprofitable for publishers to develop or translate/adapt educational resources in support of most of the courses offered by French schools at an affordable price.
Even when the resources exist, schools often lack sufficient funds to purchase what they need to deliver the courses they offer. The investments made since 1998 are a first step toward equitable access to French-language educational resources, but additional money is needed to ensure the availability of resources at the elementary and secondary levels and to fund the acquisition of those resources by Ontario's French-language school boards.
5. OBJECTIVE II – FRENCH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
The measures identified in the Action Plan for Objective II are intended to provide elementary, secondary and postsecondary students with access to high-quality French as a second language (FSL) programs.
The Ministry of Education recognizes three types of FSL programs:
- Core French;
- Extended French; and
- French Immersion.
In the Core French program, the language is taught like other subjects, such as mathematics or science. In the Extended French and French Immersion programs, French is not just a subject but also the language of instruction.
Core French must be offered in all elementary and secondary schools. Delivery of Core French programs before Grade 4 and the Extended French and French Immersion programs is optional. Core French programs are compulsory from Grade 4 to Grade 8. In addition, one French credit is required for secondary school graduation.
By the end of Grade 8, Core French students must have had at least 600 hours of French instruction, while Extended French and French Immersion students must have had a minimum of 1,260 hours and 3,800 hours of French instruction respectively.
In secondary school, immersion students accumulate 1,100 additional hours (10 credits), for a total of at least 4,900 hours, while Extended French students receive 770 additional hours of instruction (7 credits), for a total of 2,030 hours. The school boards make decision about the entry points and the specific elements of the extended and immersion programs.
6. ACTION PLAN
For each objective (French as a minority language and French as a second language), this agreement contains an Action Plan with the following components:
- a description of the strategies/measures to be implemented for each support category;
- a description of the expected outcomes;
- a description of the performance indicators that the Ontario government will use to measure the achievement of outcomes;
- a breakdown of the estimated expenditures and the contributions of the Government of Canada and the government of Ontario by activity for each fiscal year.
a. Action Plan support categories
For every level of education, both for minority-language education and for second-language instruction, Canada's financial contribution in support of this Agreement will be toward the implementation of strategies/measures for the following six support categories:
- Education Structure and Support
- Program Expansion and Development
- Teacher Training and Development
- Student Support and Development
- Télévision française de l'Ontario (TFO) – Production of Educational Programming
