Modern Languages - a peripheral subject?

Comments: none

This one somehow slipped under the radar until today. The Sunday Times reported on 18 September 2005 (”Teachers released to refocus on the three Rs”) that more time would be released from the “crowded” curriculum, with a recommendation that teachers “should be allowed to spend less time on peripheral subjects… and also allowed to cut back on modern languages, geography and history.”

Do you think MFL is a peripheral subject, or is it a subject that contributes to the three Rs we are all keen to see improve?
