Welcome !

Founded in 1991, the Fédération canadienne pour l’alphabétisation en français (FCAF) is a countrywide organization representing francophone groups and associations dedicated to French literacy in Canada. Over the years, the FCAF has endeavoured to interest as many groups as possible on the topic of literacy and the importance of reading and writing in French.

Annual Report

 

It's Time for Action - Literacy Catch-Up Plan For adult Francophones In minority Settings

According to the International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey (IALSS), 42% of all adult Canadians of working age (16 to 65) have trouble in meeting the requirements of today’s knowledge-based society and economy, because they have trouble in understanding what they read.

Moreover, an analysis of the IALSS data has shown that certain regions of Canada and certain segments of the Canadian population have lower literacy rates than others. For example, the proportion of the population who have difficulty in understanding what they read is 56% among people whose mother tongue is French, compared with 39% among people whose mother tongue is English.

The Fédération canadienne pour l’alphabétisation en français (FCAF) has developed a plan to increase the average literacy level of Canada’s French-language minority communities. The goal of this “catch-up” plan is to achieve a literacy level equivalent to that of Norway, the country that ranked first in the international survey.CONFINTEA 6
