Universities challenged to maintain language opportunities
A reaction from the government’s cut back in 2004 of a modern language as a compulsory subject for all secondary school pupils at GCSE is just hitting home with universities are now feeling the effects of this.
As fewer students are taking and passing a second language course at secondary level, there are far fewer universities providing such a variety of language courses, which is leading to certain universities consolidating their language departments and cutting back on expenditure for teacher employment and resources.
French and German were the most popular language lessons when mandatory classes were in place in the public sector of teaching. Private schools are unaffected by this government policy, but of course, there is a cost related to student interments via this route. As fewer students are going on to take jobs it multi-language sectors, we could see an increase in translation services and 3rd party language consultants, as fewer people have language skills.
To compensate for the decision to not make a second language at secondary schools, the government are looking at introducing differing languages at primary school level, but this is something not yet implemented in the national curriculum. At university level, languages are being integrated in to cultural studies as to keep some kind of presence on campus.
