Forgive my ignorance; in what way was the scheme funded before now? Were funds provided to hire language teachers, or some other way?

It was funded as a pilot project and meant to be rolled out to all schools. DES paid for teachers.

l + n. Unbelievable. When I was in primary school the teachers taught Maths and English. I thought these were still key subjects at primary school level? :rolleyes:
