Worry over decline in study of foreign languages

Educators are worried about a decline in the study of languages like Spanish and French in Barbados and across the region. Director of the BCC Language Centre, Paul Blackman has raised concern about the trend, which he says the Centre is seeking to address. He was delivering remarks at a ceremony to unveil a language mural to mark the 60th anniversary of the Springer Memorial School. According to the Director, the new partnership between Springer Memorial and the Language Centre is one of the ways they will be encouraging secondary school students to pursue language studies. He says as part of the partnership, the Centre will place its library and online resources at the disposal of the teachers at Springer Memorial.
