The Huron Expositor, 1984-09-19, Page 8A8 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, SEPTEMBER 19, 1984 KIDS French supported in Huron -Perth The majority of Catholic school supporters in Hurpn and Perth are in favor of expanding Core French. This was the overriding result of a French survey conducted by the Huron -Perth Sepa- rate School Board and released at the board's Sept. 10 meeting. No action was taken on the 'survey as trustees agreed to take some time to study the survey further. The survey was not expected until the end of September or early October; Superintendent of ' education, John McCauly said the sure follows a request from a parent group in oderich for French Immersion and a Strat old parent group's request for a French s a first language school. There were 814 surveys of 2,000 surveys sent out, returned to the board office. Mr. McCauley said the respbnse numbers don't agree with the number of surveys returned because some respondents only answered certain sections of the survey. The numbers in the survey show that 464 people would like to.. see the Core French expanded, while 264 said they wouldn't want it expanded. Core Fren h is currently taught from grade four to eight' with 20 minutes per day for grades, four tosix students and 40 minutes per day for grade seven and eight students. A high number of respondents. 549; indicated they are satisfied with the length of tirnP C'nre Frenrh k nnw tnneht Trustees pointed out the discrepehcy between the number of people saying yes they are satisfied with the current level of Core French in the schools and the number wanting Core French expanded. Stratford trustee Ron Marcy said those numbers indicate that while in general parents are satisfied with the current French program. they would like to see the length expanded, Some of the comments from the parents. included in the survey results, indicate that at least some parents think French Immersion and a French as a First Language School would have compulsory attendance, said Mr. Marcy.' Enrolment in such classes would be voluntary. ' The survey shows that' 130 people in the two counties are in favor of French Immersion while 508 are not. Stratford and Goderich have the highest concentration of people wanting French Jinmersion. Goderich has 24 peoplwtn favor of French Immersion and 34 against it. Stratford has 37 people' in favor and 146 against the French Immersion program. The only concentration of people desiring a French as a First Language School is in Stratford where 25 people want it and 171 don't. . The survey also includes a section where the numbers have been compiled into zones. The four zones represent school areas which are geographically close.
