Data Notes:

• The table includes data from the K-6 Community Languages Program (CLP) and the K-6 Languages Program (non-CLP) collections.

• Students may study more than one language.

• Students in Distance Education and Opportunity Classes (OC) are included with their appropriate grade levels.

• The overall totals for individual languages may include students in support classes.

• Programs in Languages other than English for Years K-6 and the Language Participation for Years 7-9 data collections were not conducted in 2022, in line with the department’s commitment to “clear the decks” for schools in Term 2 2022.

• The data files from 2019 have been updated to include a new column labelled 'School Count', which displays the number of schools that offer/teach the language that year.
