Victorian Government
The Victorian Government is committed to ensuring that all young Victorians have access to high quality languages education. The teaching and learning of languages in Victorian schools is not an optional extra for students – it is essential. The Victorian Government wants all students to be given the opportunity to learn a language and to achieve proficiency in that language. This enables all Victorian children and young people to effectively participate in an increasingly globalised world and economy at the local, national and international level, where the ability to communicate in and across a range of languages and cultures is critical.
