The student population in francophone schools is already on the rise as a result of immigration. There have been many students from other countries who fall under the authority of our board for more than 10 or 15 years. A portion of this influx of migrants will definitely settle in Saskatchewan, and the francophone student population under our board will increase as a result of immigration. However, there is no denying that, if these eligible children settle in a community that isn't served by a francophone school, we won't be able to reach them.
We also have to keep in mind that many of these newcomers will choose to send their children to an English school for fear that their children won't adapt to the majority language because of a lack of education.
Lastly, we have to be careful in interpreting this data, because if the proportion of francophone migrants increases to 12% in the province as a whole, we won't necessarily see it, because our school board doesn't cover the entire province.
