Languages in state schools 'decline further'

There is an excellent article on the BBC news web site today discussing the continuing fall in the numbers of teenagers studying languages in state schools in England. This problem started in 2004 when the study of a language ceased to be compulsory to the age of 16.

Children and indeed the country will be at a disadvantage for years to come. The answer must be to reverse the decision and make language study universal again!
