Delivery of educational services in remote areas

• A minority francophone school board whose establishments are scattered to the four corners of a province must be innovative to deliver educational services to students in a frugal fiscal environment. How does the CÉF go about it?

Francophone identity construction in minority communities

• Why it matters and how do teachers go about it? Promoting personal and social development with each Francophone student so that they are able to define and recognize themselves as Francophone is a complex and multi-faceted process.

CÉF Community partnerships promote student achievement

•  Year after year, dozens of partnerships with local and provincial community organizations are nurtured within the CÉF. These partnerships enrich educational programming in schools and promote student achievement.

Why choose a teaching career in a minority Francophone school board?

• The question arises frequently. The answers are many, but it often comes down to a personal and professional commitment to language, culture and community engagement in a demographic setting where preventing assimilation is a daily struggle.

 "Francophone bubble" activities promote solidarity and nurture belonging in the francophone community

• Activities such as CÉFOU, Fransaskois Law Day, Fransaskois Youth Leadership Workshops and CÉF Games are activities that play a key role in instilling a sense of belonging to the francophone community. These "bubbles" allow CÉF Francophone students to get together and network in an educational setting.

Regina, September 25, 2024 - Conseil des écoles fransaskoises (CÉF) welcomes the announcement today by the Government of Saskatchewan of sites for new schools in Saskatoon (in the Kensington neighbourhood) and in Prince Albert (near the Alfred Jenkins Field House).

"We are very pleased that the Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the need for French-speaking families to have new schools in Saskatoon and Prince Albert," said Conseil Scolaire Fransaskois Chair, Alpha Barry. "These infrastructures will help meet our educational needs. Our school division will continue to work with the Province to ensure that all Fransaskois students have access to the resources and infrastructure they need to ensure their full development. »

For his part, Minister of Education, Jeremy Cockrill expressed his appreciation of the efforts made on both sides:

“The sites selected for these schools indicate progress and increased opportunities for our communities,” Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. “These schools hold great significance for Saskatchewan’s Francophone community and are essential for maintaining language, culture and identity. We are excited to be a part of these projects that will support Francophone students and their families for years to come.”

CÉF CEO/Director of Education, Ronald Ajavon expressed his thanks to the parents and the Fransaskois community as a whole for its continuous commitment and collaboration in the development of the Fransaskois school system:

"We are delighted to see the completion of these two sites and impatient that our students can join these schools in the shortest possible time."
