Learning language is an integral part of an education. How anybody can think that getting rid of such an important world language is a goof idea, is beyond me. This should not be an issue we should have to petition for

Japanese A - level not only allows students to study a fantastic language but also gives students the opportunity to develop their understanding of a culture different from their own.

It is short sighted to stop offering minor languages. All should be kept for the future generation.

Japan is still the 3rd largest economy in the world. Cutting Japanese-language teaching will hinder Britain both culturally and economically

I did Japanese GCSE and A Level, and I am now doing Japanese at University. Without having done A Level, I wouldn't have been able to pursue my main passion at university. We need to give young children more options other than the standard European languages. It is essential we keep Japanese A Level

Removing Japanese from A Level will cause a serious loss of cultural education. I strongly oppose to the discontinuation of these qualifications.

By stopping the offer of what the UK government calls 'minor languages' in which it includes Japanese, it is telling those countries that their languages and their culture are irrelevant to modern Britain. That is nonsense. For the good of its future international relations and trade, knowledge of both such languages and culture is essential - and the UK’s future is in the hands of our children. Therefore the retention of Japanese GCSE and A level as well as the other ‘minor languages’ currently offered is also essential.

It is vital to encourage cultural awareness and encourage our children's global outlook. Studying Japanese is exactly what schools should be offering.

many students enjoy this subject at the college and it can help them work towards other languages such as mandarin (the worlds most spoke language)

We are a global society now and it is important to look further than the EU for economic links. Also, the culture of Japan is fascinating and the more our young people understand other cultures, the better

I believe languages are the most basic thing to help mutual understanding. Please keep Japanese in one of them.

It would be a disgrace to the education system of this country to do away with the Japanese A Level exam. Language skills are crucial in today's world. Please think again!
