You may have noticed we’ve had a poll up on the site recently, asking how many of you thought that languages should be compulsory and, if so, to what level. Thanks to those of you who entered, and we can now confirm the results!

Most of you (41%) thought that languages should be compulsory up to the age of 16 - so, to GCSE level. (Languages stopped being compulsory in 2004.)

Interestingly, 31% of you thought that languages should be made compulsory up to the age of 18. 17% thought that the current situation, in which languages are compulsory to the age of 14 is about right, whilst 11% of you didn’t think languages should be made compulsory at all.

If you have any comments about these results, email us, and we’ll try to publish them on our site.

Meanwhile, have a look at our latest poll, which asks you to rate our resources.
