Elitist, Inequitable and Exclusionary Practices: A Problem within Ontario French Immersion Programs?

This literature review is intended to shed light on the French Immersion Programs in Canada. The author tries to address certain concerns that exist within a French Immersion school board; such as not giving every student an equal opportunity to enter into the FI program and remain in it. Since the FI program wishes to maintain a professional reputation, this elitist practise leads to students dropping out of French Immersion programs due to the fact that they feel that they do not fit in.
