State of FSL Education in Canada
The State of French Second Language Education in Canada is a series of research reports we at CPF produced to assess FSL education throughout the country. Throughout the years, parents, educators and stakeholders have relied on them to advocate for improved FSL education across Canada. The extensive, detailed information in them also helps decision-makers support our cause.
At the Heart of our Mission
Advocating for French as a second language (FSL) educational opportunities for youth across Canada is at the heart of what we do. And what better way to achieve our objective than to ensure our advocacy is solidly grounded in research and statistics?
To make sure that stakeholders and the wider public understand the needs, challenges and opportunities in the FSL landscape, we are constantly developing new tools and research to take the conversation to a higher level.
