Kids To Learn MFL At The Age Of Seven.

All school children in England will have to learn a foreign language at the age of seven, under new government rules.

A review of what should be in the national curriculum is taking place at the moment.

Other ideas include making kids recite poetry from the age of five.

Education Secretary Michael Gove also wants a bigger focus on spelling and grammar, with lists of words you should be able to spell.

Kids will be expected to know their times tables up to 12x12 by the age of nine, while science lessons will teach things like the solar system and static electricity.

The changes will be introduced in 2014 if approved.
