I think it is asset to both UK and Japan to have bilingual skill with not only the common language but also minor language like Japanese.

I have loved learning Japanese as an adult in a way I never experienced with French and Russian at school.

That will be a huge loss to the education, culture and community in Britain as Japan has been a great influence to the world with its rich and unique culture and history.

I studied Japanese at A-level, and am very glad I had the opportunity, wouldn't want anyone not to.

Japanese opens a whole new culture and broadens experience and opportunities. The A-level gives it the weight and gravitas that ensures students feel their studies are recognised as being important.

I did Japanese a level 20 years ago and it really helped me. I think it's really important to keep it going. There's still a lot of Japanese companies in UK. It'll help England and Japan build a better bridge.

I also would like British people to keep studying about Japanese. It's important to share each opinion and something.

We have more than 400-year long history of exchanging people and cultures between Japan and the UK. Getting rid of Japanese A level would deprive children of their motivations for keep learning it and even their opportunity to be aware of the rich history between us. Do not let this happen.

Teaching Japanese to young people in Europe is critically important for realization of pluri-culturism of CEFR. If you want UK students to be persons of real international intelligence, you should teach them Japanese. It is the language of a very unique culture, the mother of bento, ikebana and judo and the father of manga, anime and samurai games. In another word, it is a ideal mixture of local and global civilization.

Retain Japanese A level and develop teaching and learning of more languages, not fewer. GB needs language speakers

Studying a language at A-level creates an extremely good opportunity to acquire understanding and tolerance towards differerent cultures. It would be a true shame to rob students of these opportunities.

It's very short sighted to abolish such important language as Japanese at high school level. There's nothing to gain from but much to lose.
