The Department of Slavonic Studies wishes to express its serious concern about AQA鈥檚 decision to eliminate the Polish language A-level from 2018. Given that AQA is meant to offer 鈥榪ualifications that meet the needs of teachers and students鈥�, this recent announcement is puzzling. Polish is now the second most widely spoken language in the United Kingdom. Student demand for its instruction is growing exponentially across the board. As UK universities like 海角社区 work to institutionalise programmes dedicated to the language and culture of Poland, it is particularly troubling to see AQA move in the opposite direction. We call upon AQA and the UK Government to reconsider this decision and to continue to offer the Polish A-level for the benefit of a better British education.
