<p>Released: February 13, 2006 </p> <p>Vancouver BC-February 8, 2006. BC has once again smashed enrolment records for French immersion with 38,009 students enrolled in early and late programs in public schools across the province. Statistics for the 2005-2006 school year released this week reveal the new record represents the largest increase in French immersion numbers in two decades.</p> <p>"This is the sixth consistent year of record-breaking growth in enrolment in this unique program of choice in the public system. Parents from Chetwynd to Vancouver recognize the benefits of second language-learning and are demanding that their children have access to French programs. Clearly, school boards are listening," noted Sharon Taylor, president of Canadian Parents for French - BC & Yukon Branch. Once again, this increase in immersion enrolment is occurring despite a significant decrease in total school enrolment. <br> </p> <h4 align="center">Table 1 - <em>Ministry of Education French Immersion Enrolment 2001 - 2005 BC Public Schools</em></h4> <table border cellspacing=2 cellpadding=2 align="center"> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE" bgcolor="#00ffff"><p align="CENTER"><b>Year</b></td> <td valign="MIDDLE" bgcolor="#00ffff"><p align="CENTER"><b>French<br />Immersion<br /> Enrolment</b></td> <td valign="MIDDLE" bgcolor="#00ffff"><p align="CENTER"><b>Total<br />School<br /> Enrolment</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE">2005-06</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><div align="center">38,009</div></td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><div align="center">595,859</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p>2004-05</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">35,519</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">606,401</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p>2003-04</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">33,407</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">616,472</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p>2002-03</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">31,990</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">623,344</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p>2001-02</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">31,136</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">632,024</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p>2000-01</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">30,423</td> <td valign="MIDDLE"><p align="center">634,555</td> </tr> </table> <p>"With studies consistently demonstrating the range of cognitive benefits accruing to children who pursue second-language learning, and parents determined that their children be well prepared for an increasingly mobile and globalized economy, CPF anticipates that demand will continue to increase", Taylor stated. "We are projecting an increase to 43,000 students by 2010, and that may in fact be a conservative estimate." </p> <p>Districts as far north as Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlottes all the way to Victoria are exploring new or expanded programmes for September 2006. The fastest growing districts are Victoria, Chilliwack, Surrey and Burnaby, with Victoria topping the per capita enrolment charts.
