The Harrow West MP is alarmed by figures showing a steady decline in students obtaining GCSE qualifications in languages such as Gujarati and Urdu. Figures obtained from the Department for Education shows than there has been an almost 77 per cent decline of students studying the Gujarati for their GCSEs since 2015, and over a 17 per cent decline in those studying Urdu over the same period. The figures also show dramatic reductions in students obtaining Punjabi and Bengali GCSEs with an over 24 per cent and 43 per cent decline respectively. Labour MP Gareth Thomas, who led a campaign to maintain GCSE and A-level language qualifications in community languages, requested the figures for languages including Arabic, Bengali, Chinese and others.
