NSW kids to get '90 minutes a day' of Asian language



Starting in kindergarten, students will take up Mandarin, Korean, Japanese
or Indonesian for at least 90 minutes a day, across every class except
English and mathematics, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Four government primary schools - Rouse Hill Public and Murray Farm in
Sydney's north-west, Scotts Head Public on the North Coast and Campsie
Public in Sydney's inner-west - have been selected as the first to
specialise in an Asian language.
