Dropping language lessons a big mistake, warns head inspector



Schools which drop modern languages in the first three years of
secondary education have been criticised by the new head of the
inspectorate.

Bill Maxwell, senior chief inspector of HMIe, said inspectors would be
highly critical of schools which did not ensure languages were
provided.

He said inspectors knew there were schools in Scotland dropping
compulsory foreign

languages from the timetable.
