The line graph illustrates the proportion of the early-year recruitment of teachers with

regular teaching jobs according to year of graduation in Ontario over six-year period, from
2001 to 2007.

Overall, while regular job rates for early-year English-language program graduates fell
significantly, French-language rose at the end of period, although both of them saw the
similar proportion at the beginning.

In 2001, the proportion of French-language teachers was 70 percent, just at a bit lower rate
than English-language teachers, roughly 2 percent. Over the next two years, the figure
slipped but then recovered slightly and peaked at 65 percent for French-language teachers,
whilst fell markedly for English-language teachers.

Since 2003, it is clear that the percentage of French-language teachers rose gradually and hit
the peak at 75 percent in the last year. In contrast, the figure increased moderately in 2005
but then bottomed out at just below 30 percent in 2007.

In conclusion, between 2003 and 2007, there was always more recruitment for French-
language teacher sthan for English-language teachers.
