Education: Languages
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their response to the Language Trends survey 2011, published on 14 March 2012. My Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper. I declare an interest as chair of the All-Party Group on Modern Languages.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government welcome the finding of the language trends survey that in the past year there has been a 15 per cent increase in state schools now teaching languages to the majority of their GCSE pupils. We believe this shows that the English baccalaureate is starting to have a positive impact on take-up. We are considering the expert panel's recommendations for the national curriculum review and will be announcing our plans shortly. This will be followed by a period of public consultation.
