French Education Minister sparks diplomatic situation with Germany by proposing to abolish 'two-language' classes for 11-year-olds (The Independent 29.04.15)
"... [T]he French Education Minister has provoked a cross-Rhine storm by proposing to abolish special classes which allow some clever French 11-year-olds to learn German alongside English from the first year of secondary school. Instead, says the minister, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, all children in France will be taught a second modern language of their choice from the age of 12." by John Lichfield, The Independent, 29.04.2015
