Options for a sustainable programme of demand-raising activity in modern languages

Introduction

1.Between 2006-2016 HEFCE has invested £10.5 million to support demand-raising activity in modern languages through the Routes into Languages (Routes) programme, an initiative which aims to enthuse and encourage modern language study and increase the take-up of modern language degree programmes in England.
2.Independent evaluations published in 2011 by SQW (on Routes) and by Curtis and Cartwright (on HEFCE’s programme of support for Strategically Important and Vulnerable Subjects) concluded Routes has made good progress in raising the profile of and increasing interest and engagement of school pupils in languages, and HEFCE would wish this to continue following the end of the funded programme in July 2016.

Aim of tender

To provide a framework for sustainably resourcing key activities and elements of the current Routes programme, appropriate to the current higher education environment, following the end of the HEFCE-funded programme in July 2016.
