Research from @BritishAcademy_ published today on post-16 education in England. For #languages some pertinent statistics on demand vs. supply.
Post-16 students are studying a narrower range of subjects than 20 years ago, which could limit their future education and career options, according to a new report commissioned by the British Academy ahead of tomorrow’s A-level results. https://t.co/ag0bVfCWxS

Good to see languages & multilingualism prominent in @BritishAcademy_ Manifesto for Social Sciences, Humanities & the Arts — & also call for UK to play active role in shaping development of next round of European Framework Programmes & to rejoin Erasmus+ scheme
In the run up to the election we’ve released our @BritishAcademy_ Manifesto today. We call for a sustainable HE funding model and the need to use insights from humanities & social sciences to address society’s biggest challenges

Not great news everywhere, but a welcome one year increase in A-level languages registrations this year. Let's hope it is sustained... 🤞

If you’re lucky enough to learn French, German or Spanish at school, you’ll also learn diversity, empathy & friendship, communication, debate & expression. Plus, you’ll have opened up other languages & cultures. Another language is a whole new life experience & a new worldview.
