There are strong support groups in place throughout the province for those who need reassurance or guidance. -- However, since the late 1980's enrolments have generally decreased in both entry points EFI and LFI. Factors such as family mobility, due largely to the economic state of the Province, have impacted significantly the number of students enrolling in FI: and the number leaving FI from grade to grade. Results of FI have also come under some criticism. Class size is declining; therefore, FI may not be an option in areas where numbers are too low to warrant the program. -- Even though many areas of the province have worked hard to build FI in their schools and advocate it in their communities, it will take the continued support of all involved in the process to ensure that FI remains a viable option for the children of Newfoundland and Labrador.
