[lg policy] Parents must take responsibility for teaching their children English, says British lawmaker

[Gareth Price]

AN MP is seeking a meeting with Ministers to discuss the problem of
large number of children growing up without speaking English as their
first language.

Keighley Tory MP Kris Hopkins says parents need to take responsibility
after it emerged 28,000 children in Bradford speak another language as
their first choice.

“There is an urgent need for parents to take responsibility for
ensuring their children achieve their full educational potential, and
speaking English is vital in this regard,” he said.
