Research from @BritishAcademy_ published today on post-16 education in England. For #languages some pertinent statistics on demand vs. supply.
The British Academy@BritishAcademy_
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. thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news/report-sh…

If you run or know of a supplementary language school & are happy to be added to the site, contact mark.critchley@durham.ac.uk with details of the language, location & age groups. Otherwise circulate this across your networks. @YPFtrust @ALL4language #mfltwitterati #Languages

To maximise utility to the various user groups for thelanguagesgateway.uk we are presently auditing and adding to current content. One key area we want to add to the site is a summary of #supplementaryeducation for languages across the UK.

@VEverettmfl @MarkCritchley8 Point taken - it's worth noting this good news for MFL A level, although it's only one year. And indeed the article shows serious wider concerns.
English
@LangsGateway @MarkCritchley8 Seriously?
There was a 2.4% increase in the overall cohort taking A Levels. And a 3.1% increase in people taking A Level German. Which, after accounting for the general increase, equates to 16 more people.
The article isn't about languages. It's about the decline in arts subjects

Some uplifting news for the weekend: languages A levels are bouncing back! 😎
