NATIONAL STATEMENT FOR LANGUAGES EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIAN
SCHOOLS
This document was recently released by the Ministerial Council
of Education, Employment, Training & Youth Affairs (MCEETYA)
following its endorsement by all Ministers of Education.It
has been developed by a MCEETYA Working Party with input from
education systems in each State and Territory, National Catholic
Education Commission, Independent Schools Council and other
entities.
The process of discussion included national round table forums
held in 2003 and early 2004; and the documents were widely
circulated as discussion drafts in early 2004 to invite extensive
community discussion and input.
National Plan for Languages Education in Australian Schools
2005 - 2008 has now been distributed to all education authorities.
