Children eligible for instruction in the minority official language: A data ecosystem

Release date: November 9, 2022

Statistics Canada is developing a data ecosystem on children eligible for instruction in English in Quebec and in French in the rest of Canada.

What do we mean by data ecosystem?

It is a set of complementary data sources that, together, provide information on the number of children eligible for instruction in the minority official language, the number of children actually enrolled in a minority official language education program at the elementary and secondary levels, and the number of children not enrolled, but whose parents intend to enroll them.

Main data sources for this ecosystem

1) Census of Population

2) 2022 Survey on the Official Language Minority Population (SOLMP)

3) Elementary-Secondary Education Survey

4) Other data sources and studies will gradually be added to enrich this data ecosystem
