Description
Summary:Language teaching is just one area being targeted under the sweeping reform of Portugal’s education system. Legislation voted in 2001 now requires primary pupils to learn two modern languages, starting in years 5 and 7. Reforms to secondary education being introduced this autumn will require pupils to learn one modern language until year 11, after which point the second modern language becomes optional. From year 12 onwards, the obligation to learn at least one modern language ends and both modern languages become optional. The resulting compromise is still a long way from the European Commission’s recommendations.
