At the Heart of our Mission

We have created The State of French Second Language Education in Canada, a series of research reports to evaluate and analyze FSL education across the country. Throughout the years, parents, educators and stakeholders have relied on them to advocate for improved FSL education across Canada. And the extensive, detailed information in them helps decision-makers support our cause.
