Pretty obvious to me that we should make foreign language learning compulsory to GCSE.
Languages are a social good and are in high demand by NI exporters!
To grow our economy we need more linguists 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇨🇳🇹🇷🇵🇱
It's a shame we lost Erasmus+

Next week we launch our latest #LanguageTrendsNI research!🎉
Conducted by Dr Ian Collen @NICILT, it gives an overview of language provision in NI & follows on from our research in 2021, which found that language lessons were ‘hardest hit’ during Covid-19👇nireland.britishcouncil.org/…

Proud to have provided support to this fantastic initiative

Every young person should have the opportunity to learn a language in primary school, but far too many don't get that chance.
We are falling behind the rest of Europe and letting pupils down. It's time for change.
We're asking the parties to commit to #SaveLanguageLearning👇

Why learn a language? Because there's a whole world beyond your own. Because Spanish, Arabic & French let you communicate on most continents. Because Chinese, Urdu & Swahili create exciting new perspectives. Because whatever else you're interested in, a language makes you better.

Learning a language isn't just about communicating on holiday, exploring new cultures, reading foreign literature, watching international cinema... the actual process of learning is great for cognitive development and so many more skills. ¡vamos! – at Larne, Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is facing a crisis in language learning and our young people are being failed.
We are calling on the @Education_NI to introduce modern languages as a compulsory part of the primary school curriculum.

Please sign & share. We can be smart and give ALL children opportunity without creating insurmountable burden for teachers. But we need statutory requirement to bring all on board @MMcIlveenDUP @Education_NI @ETI_news @Ed_Authority @CCEA_info #curriculum #leadership #talent

We are ready @stranbelfast to work together with all stakeholders to build teacher capacity for primary languages provision BUT we need a statutory requirement to ensure that ALL children in NI benefit.
