I need to weigh my words. We do not evaluate results in education. There is no common evaluation system for all the provinces. At one point in time the Council of Ministers of Education of Canada discussed using a type of template or a common evaluation system so that immersion students in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Nova Scotia could compare their results.
You will be speaking with representatives of the Edmonton Public School Board after my appearance. They could speak to you about their use of DELF, which comes from the French system. This board wanted to use the evaluation system used by the Public Service Commission to evaluate student progress, but after one year, the commission decided that this contravened its legislation. That is when the board decided to use DELF, which is a foreign system. Using that system was one of the keys to its success. Thanks to that system, students can compare themselves not only with other students in their class, but also with other students around the world.
