55.

asked the Minister for Education what foreign languages are on the prescribed courses for secondary schools; and whether it is proposed to increase their number.

The foreign languages which are included in the Department's programme for secondary schools are French, German, Hebrew, Italian and Spanish. There are at present no proposals for adding to the number of such languages.
