Romanian Language: GCSE
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has considered the potential merits of the introduction of a GCSE qualification in Romanian.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The government is committed to supporting the teaching of modern foreign languages in England’s schools. Decisions about which languages to offer at GCSE in England are taken by four independent awarding organisations rather than by central government: AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel, and WJEC. These organisations have the freedom to create a Romanian GCSE based on the subject content for modern foreign languages set by the department.
