| There was a time in Canada when most parents who could enrol their kids in minority francophone schools were in couples made up of two francophones. But those days are gone. Today, the majority of parents who can have their children educated in French as a first language are in mixed francophone/non-francophone relationships. That, however, isn’t the whole story. There are also single parents and francophones who have lost French as a family language, as well as more and more newcomers to this country and some non-francophone couples who want their children to master French. In short, the world of minority francophone education in Canada is changing radically. And with it comes the need for school boards and parent associations to welcome and offer support to a wide variety of parents, not all of whom speak French. That’s the reason for this website, and for all the services I offer as a consultant. So welcome to Francophone Education in Canada, which takes over where www.exogam.ca left off. This new resource belongs to you, too: the Forum lets you share your experiences, ideas, challenges and solutions with parents and educators throughout the country. Feel free to join in! I hope you’ll find this site relevant, fun and useful. Enjoy your visit — and check back often! Glen Taylor |
