All school language education

A-level in English Language or Language-and-literature, in a Foreign language (French, German, Spanish or another modern language), or in Classical Studies (but excluding Welsh and Irish). These data come directly from the websites of the four exam boards.

Note that

• 2011 was the year when rises in English language first failed to compensate for falls in foreign languages.
• 2014 was the year when English language (i.e. either Language or Language and literature) started an even sharper decline than the existing decline in foreign languages.
