"Languages education has a place in every Australian school. Every student has the right to learn additional languages at school. Languages are learned best when taught through quality, articulated, cumulative, rigorous programs, by competent, accomplished, qualified language teachers, experienced in local context and curriculum. Our position is to support all languages and language learning and that languages should be learned by students throughout the compulsory years of schooling."
