Written question asked by Baroness Coussins (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Hill of Oareford (Conservative) on Monday, 7 February 2011.
Education: Languages
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proportion of maintained secondary schools set a benchmark of between 50 per cent and 90 per cent for take-up of a modern foreign language at GCSE.
- Answer
-
This benchmark was set by the previous Government. Data on this are no longer collected. However, the Language Trends Survey 2009 published by CILT, the National Centre for Languages, in January 2010 showed that 17 per cent of maintained schools in a representative sample where languages were optional at KS4 had set a benchmark for the take-up of languages.
