Happy European Languages Day!! 🌎🗣

85.4% of students believe language learning should start at KS2!
That's why we are urging the Department of Education and Paul Givan to start language learning as young as possible, building strong foundations for the future of modern languages.🌎

🎉 The holiday season is here, and we're thrilled to kick off our 12 Days of Christmas campaign! Every day, we'll unveil the key asks on students' wish lists this year. What are students dreaming of this Christmas? Let's find out! 🎄🌟
Graphic with Christmas trees stating: On the first day of Christmas students asked for MODERN LANGUAGES TO BE A PART OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM NORTHERN IRELAND CURRENTLY STANDS OUT WITHIN THE UK AS THE ONLY REGION WHERE LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE IS NOT MANDATORY IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS. WE BELIEVE THAT ENCOURAGING STUDENTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND TO START LEARNING LANGUAGES FROM AN EARLY AGE CAN FOSTER A GREATER APPRECIATION FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING IN THE FUTURE. A PRIMARY SCHOOL MODERN LANGUAGES CURRICULUM CAN HELP EQUIP OUR STUDENTS WITH VALUABLE SKILLS THAT WILL BENEFIT THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES.
