Education: Get Set Programme

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what evaluation they have made, or will be making, of the effectiveness of the Get Set programme in encouraging the teaching and learning of modern languages in schools.
Answer

The London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) carries out an annual evaluation of its education programme, Get Set, through its research partner, Nielsen. This research is not specific to modern foreign languages or any other curriculum subject, but it examines how schools have used the programme. A small number of case studies of modern foreign language applications has been generated by the qualitative elements of this research.
