Albanian Language Teaching

EDM number 1105 in 2009-10, proposed by John Grogan on 16/03/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Schools.

That this House commends the work of Albanian societies in the United Kingdom for organising teaching of the Albanian language; notes that the Asset Languages Scheme is a voluntary assessment scheme for the language ladder introduced by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and provides accreditation for the skills of language learners of all ages and abilities from primary through to further, higher and adult education; calls on the Department and the contractor who run the scheme Cambridge Assessment to consider adding the Albanian language to the Asset Language programme; and urges the five examination boards AQA, CCEA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC to consider carefully the case for adding Albanian to the list of languages which can be studied to GCSE level.
