system in Ontario unless im mediate future solutions are found to the declining enrolments This was the yim warning given to educators Friday at the Commission On Declining Enrolments CODE con ference at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education OISE The minister of education Thomas Wells told the con ference delegates that con certed efforts must be im mediately undertaken by educators and the public to find viable and practical solutions to the dangers implications of declining school enrolments This is not statistical numbers game we are playing with here its humans game It needs to be explained to people that as enrolments get smaller schools will have to close and educational programs will have to be dropped It also means at increased declining enrolments will lead to fewer teachers Wells said The commissioner of CODE Dr Robert Jackson told the audience the problems arising from declining enrolments are of major importance in magnitude for the education system Unless conditions change quickly and drastically theyre almost certainly going to be with us until the turn of the cen tury and probably well beyond HAYS TRAVEL SERVICE 7234700 45 Dunlop St lent to the Iheotve Some things dont have to cost more to be better 1969 the year 2000 Jackson said DECLINING BIRTH RATE The main demographic fac tors population statistics for the enomenon of declining enro ments in the schools are low fertility rates decreased birth rates and immigration trends The fertility rate the number of births or 1000 women has eclined dramatically over the past 15 years mainly because of chang ed social attitudes availability of effective contraceptive devices and legalization of therapeutic abortions Jackson said The fertility rates in Ontario have dropped from 15784 in 1959 to projected level in 1977 of 6810 The reproductive period for women has steadily shrunk to the stage where it extends from only 18 years to 32 years not the traditional 15 ears to 49 ears which prevai ed coup of generations ago Jackson said As well the number of births in most provinces has been steadily declining or levelling off over the past 15 years and not increasing Women are now bearing only 18 children on the average well below the 20 re lacement rate needed to keep natural population increase at rate of zero Jackson said Because of these factors elementary school enrolments in Canada reached peak of 38 million in 1968 and now ts the examiner Wodnoulay Oct 19 1977 21 heading to low of about 29 million in the early 19805 As well secondary school enrolment now at its peak of about 19 million is headed for decline of about 500000 across Canada between now and the early 19903 Unlike Dr Zoltan Zsigmond of Statistics Canada who believes there will be baby boom echo in the last half of the 1900s Dr Jackson says such babyboom echo is only llwhismrY This echo is supposed to re resent the birt of the ba ies from parents who are part of the postwar baby boom The absence of this baby boom echo is demonstrated in the birth registrations in Canada from 1974 to June 1977 Need solutions to declining enrolment Specifically the birth figures in Ontario for 1974 were 124229 in 1975 12571 and up to June 1977 63050 Many of us face the gravest concern in education of our lives Teachers and pupils are going to be hurt unless we plan carefully Because of the low fertility rate Jackson said the im mediate future for school enrolments is going to be bleak with little evidence of relief in sight for any of the school systems The fertility tumaround has already diminished the
