4. SETTING OUR CONTEXT / DÉFINIR NOTRE CONTEXTE
‘Action Plan for Official Languages Investing in Our Future 2018 – 2023’
Objective to increase the bilingualism rate of the Canadian population to 20% (from the existing 17.9%) by 2036.
Canada saw a 52% increase in French immersion enrolment between 2003 and 2013.
As a common roadblock to FSL programming is the lack of qualified teachers, an investment of $ million in recruiting and retaining teachers for French immersion and French as a second language was announced.
How will these funds be rolled out?

6. MAIN CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED / PRINCIPAUX DÉFIS IDENTIFIÉS
FSL graduates are often unaware of the demand for and attractions of becoming a FSL teacher.
Too small a population of French-speakers outside of Quebec to meet current demand for French second language teachers.
Too few FSL teacher candidate spaces in some faculties of education to meet current demand. Too few applicants to fill the spaces in others.
Too few post-secondary students meet the French-language proficiency requirements of FSL teacher education programs.
Too few FSL teacher education graduates are relocating within or outside of their home provinces.
FSL teachers move to English programs in response to often difficult working conditions.
There is a lack of information about the extent and location of FSL teacher supply and demand problems.
FSL education not a demonstrated priority by provincial/territorial governments and school boards / districts.
