🚨Great to see @standardnews covering this very important research from @karen_forbes @Cambridge_Uni. The APPG has long been concerned that language learning is increasingly associated with socio-economic advantage and endorses the call for 'languages for all'.

Macron is right. Revive the school French exchange to secure a future together ✍️ @ToniaAntoniazzi politicshome.com/opinion/articl…
Our future generations are missing out, there is so much excitement and learning to be had by learning a foreign language! I know… through friendships, sport, work opportunities. Let’s not let these unique experiences escape our children. @APPGML

Concerning that language learning is less widespread in schools in less affluent areas. Language learning should be an opportunity for everyone, not a privilege. German in particular is an extremely practical & sought-after skill – the highest in-demand among UK employers.
🚨New data from @BritishCouncil Language Trends report shows languages increasingly concentrated in more affluent schools: theguardian.com/education/2025…

French, German, Spanish and computer science grades are more than half a grade lower than pupils’ grades in English and maths. But pupils who enter art and design (photography) tend to achieve half a grade or more higher than in English and maths. vist.ly/3n3qx3r
