23hThis will be the second time in 25 years that a Labour government has committed grievous harm to MFL, the first time being the removal of compulsory languages in 2004 and the second now being the removal of the EBacc measure. Politicians of all parties claim to be concerned about falling numbers - if that is the case, they may wish to stop sending children the message that it’s a disposable subject and lowering its value in the eyes of the public. The research on the severe economic impact of our lack of language skills as a country could not be clearer.
