Trustee Shirley Hazlitt questioned the benefits of starting French at,the grade one level. Trustee Bob Allan .replied that the ministry had done a fair amount of research on this and had no definite conclusions. However it was felt that more important than the age, the .students should be taught a certain amount of French. • Presently a student taking 20 minutes of French a day would accumulate 360 hours by the end of grade eight and a high school student would accumulate 920 hours by the 'end of grade thirteen. However, the Ministry of Education sets the basic level of actievement at 1,200 hours, the middle level achievable through 2100 hours and the top level through 5,000 hours of instruction.
