To discuss French
Canadian society is moving to-
wards bilingualism. That's the way
it appears to Huron County's Direc-
tor of Education Bob Allen who
with his superintendents presented
some well researched information to
Iluron's trustees at their December
meeting about trends in the core
French program across the prov=
ince.
Trustees arc -preparing to make a
decision concerning whether or not
lU approve an extension to . the
present French program in the ele-
mentary and secondary schools here.
That decision should come at the
January meeting in the board office
at Clinton.
"If we could recruit more dual -
language teachers, we would," Bob
Allen told the board. "Society is
really moving on this issue."
Allen reported that French teach-
ers are becoming very hard to find.
They arc in great demand at the
present time, and employers from
schools across Ontario arc compet-
ing for their services.
More French teachers would be
needed in Huron if the core program
were expanded, although some
French teachers presently teaching
half-time would likely become full-
time staff.
A magic total number of 1200
hours of French instruction - 720
hours in elementary school and 480
hours in secondary school - seems
to product students who can func-
tion in the French language. Huron
students are currently getting 1080
hours between the time they begin
and graduate from the school sys-
tem.
To achieve the 1200 hours, trus-
tees are discussing the addition of
20 minutes of instruction per day to
the core French curriculum. natural-
ly then, more teacher hours would
be required as well.
Superintendent Arnold Mathers
outlined the options available to the
board for adding extra time.
It could mean starting the pro-
gram earlier than the present Grade
3, perhaps in kindergarten or Grades
1 and 2. dr it could mean adding
more time to existing programs in
Grade 3 through 8.. or some combi-
nation of these options.
According to Mathers, "the jury is
out" on the teaching of French in
kindergarten and he had no firm rec-
ommendation to make regarding
that option.
But he did say students required
opportunities to use their French
conversational skills in regular
learning situations outside French
class. He said subjects taught in
French, at least some of the time,
would be of great benefit to children
striving to become fluently bilin-
gual.
Superintendent Paul Carroll said
that in terms of space accommoda-

tion, the Ontario Ministry of Educa-
tion. Kinchlca said there arc always
issues in education and currently,
these issues include such things as
the impact of the new child care
proposal from the federal govern-
ment and the perplexing problems
associated with AIDS education.
He praised the Huron County
board of education for its first-class
school system and its excellent ad-
ministrative program.
The first meeting of the new
board is January 11 at the board of-
fice in Clinton at 1 p.m.
extension
tion, it doesn't appear there would
be any problems in the county's 24
elementary school buildings.
Where finances are concerned, Di-
rector Bob Allen said, "We really do
not know."
He said the federal government
does fund, to some extent, the
teaching of French. But he admitted
he just doesn't_ know how this
would impact on Huron's overall
budget.
Any educational funding formu-
las are enormously complicated,"
Allen told the board.
He did offer an educated guess
though. He said _funding the addi-
tional French instruction hours
could cost Huron taxpayers about
$130,000 of the estimated $305,200
price tag.
John Elliott cautioned the board
about carrots "dangled" by govern-
ment. He said the special funds usu-
ally are available only for a period
of time. After that, these new pro-
grams are funded out of general rev-
enue.
"Then we know who pays," said
Elliott.
Board members asked for more in-
formation from the superintendents
in time for the January meeting.
John Elliott wanted to know where
the additional instruction time
would come from - what would the
students lose to get more
French.
Don McDonald queried concerning
the number of graduating students
who make use of their French lan-
guage skills.
Sally Rathwell asked how many
students the public school system is
losing to early French immersion
classes in this area.
