Thank you, David. I would agree with you that there is still more work that we can do to ensure that more children take the opportunity of studying modern foreign languages at GCSE level. One of the projects that is proving particularly successful in achieving that aim, which the Welsh Government funds, is the student mentoring project run in conjunction with Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and Aberystwyth universities, and this will run for a fourth year this year. The project offers targeted intervention to improve MFL take-up at GCSE in schools through improving pupil engagement with the university student mentor. In 2016-17, 50 per cent of all pupils mentored continued their learning into GCSE compared to a national average of under 20 per cent, so that project we know is making a real difference. 

What I can say, though—and I would like to take this opportunity, Presiding Officer, to congratulate the high standards that are being achieved by those students that do go on to take this subject. Now, I don't particularly like making comparisons across the border, but it is fair to say that GCSE results last year showed that Wales had a higher A* performance and a higher A* to C performance in Spanish, French and German than students across the border in England. So, where students do take these subjects, they are excelling.
