Not only is this important for Japanese students who live overseas, but for all those non-Japanese students who benefit from being able to prove that they have proficiency in a foreign language. Many of us grew up in Japan.

Ex-Japanese student here. What a shame it would be to see a course with the most extraordinarily talented teachers disappear. Let's not allow future students to be deprived of the opportunity to engage with something far more stimulating than the run-of-the-mill curriculum.

This country is already poor at learning languages which puts us at a real disadvantage when dealing with the rest of the world as we have no insight into other cultures. Please do not make it worse!

It is sad to lose an opportunity on learning some language because of money.

It is important to keep GCE AS and A level Japanese for students.
I don't understand why these are going to be targeted for withdrawal.
The reasons are not acceptable.

It is utterly nonsensical to stop languages with a trading nation that is number three in world's GDP and has been a solid political ally of the UK and Western World for over half a century.

There a number of large Japanese companies that employ thousands people in the U.K. And, Japan is still one of the biggest economies in the world, hence I believe that leaning Japanese gives young people more opportunities, especially in business.

Reducing choice in languages seems a very backwards step, particularly Japanese with its rich cultural heritage. This is a subject that fired my son's imagination and it would be a shame if others did not have the same opportunity he has had.

No reason why, in the digital and connected age, Japanese should be of an arbitrary lesser importance than European languages. A student of this generation is equally likely to encounter a Japanese person or work with a Japanese company as they are a French or German one. It is important for young people to be aware of and understand cultures that vary differently from our own. Losing Japanese and the other languages set to be cut would be a huge step back for the education system

Why stop encouraging those who recognise the importance of learning others' languages, thus cultures and ways of thinking, other than Anglophones'?

So much for a Global Economy if the UK government doesn't support teaching foreign languages!

The obvious enjoyment that many students get from learning Japanese (and which for some reason the learning of a European language doesn't afford them) is something that the exam boards have clearly not witnessed.

Given the enormous popularity of Japanese culture amongst the young generation of the UK, it is ludicrous to abolish Japanese A-level.

Japanese A Level is important for learning the 2nd foreign language. and I hope GCSE can give the students for the opportunities to continue learning Japanese and encourage students to learn it. Thank you.

Japan has rich and diverse culture.
Learning Japanese is good for young people and give them a lot of opportunity to enhance their future.
