Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Graham Stuart (Conservative). It was answered by Alan Johnson (Labour) on Thursday, 12 October 2006 on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills.
Foreign Languages
- Question
- What measures the Department is taking to increase the number of pupils studying foreign languages at GCSE and A-level.
- Answer
-
With the introduction of languages in primary schools, and the improvement of the quality of teaching and learning at key stage 3, we expect more pupils to want to continue to learn languages at GCSE and A-level. However, it will take time for the effects of our strategy to be realised. I can announce to the House that I have asked Lord Dearing to review our languages policy at key stage 4 and to consider what more can be done to increase take-up.
