Ministers of Education are committed to the vision of quality languages education for all students, in all schools, in all parts of the country.

Quality teachers need supportive conditions including opportunities for ongoing professional learning. Effective languages programs also require whole school support, particularly from school leaders and the involvement of the wider community.
