Primary French News

Primary French Project Consultant, Catherine Cheater, was invited again on 22 June to appear on BBC Breakfast, this time to discuss from the perspective of primary schools the feasibility of increasing the number of lesser-taught languages in the UK education system. This was in response to the CBI report in which UK businesses stressed how important it is that employees be ale to speak a European language, and that there is an increasing demand for lesser-taught languages such as Mandarin and Arabic.

Catherine put forward her personal view that continuity at transition between key stages and schools is important.
