The British Academy has said more work is needed to reverse the drop in language learning following a continued decline in the number of students taking up German and Spanish at GCSE level.
According to the 2022 GCSE results published on 25 August, around 36,300 students studied German, a decrease of 17 per cent since 2019, when almost 42,800 students took the exam.
