It's #GCSEresults day! Congratulations to all those who took a modern languages GCSE this year.
NCLE's mission is to raise the profile of languages and strengthen language teaching and learning and system leadership in England.
Bernardette Holmes MBE, Honorary Professor at UCL-IOE and NCLE Director said:
“Language skills provide a foundation for exciting opportunities ahead... In an increasingly interconnected world, language skills and intercultural understanding are not desirable extras, they are essential for the future success of individuals, communities, and society as a whole.”
