A National Recovery Programme for Languages

The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Modern Languages exists to:

  • explore the educational, skills-related, employment, competitive and cultural benefits of learning and using languages throughout the UK
  • provide a parliamentary forum for information exchange and consultation
  • encourage and support policies and action improving the take-up of languages in schools, further and higher education, in the workplace and in the community.

The APPG produced a National Recovery Programme for Languages in 2019 which, like the British Academy’s Languages in the UK report (see above), called for a national languages strategy.
