AUSTRALIA: Lost in translation: language crisis targeted

STUDENTS from primary school to year 10 would be required to study a second language as part of a national push by university chiefs to stem the language "crisis" in schools.

Under the plan, all year 12 graduates would also get a 10 per cent bonus on their university entry scores if they successfully complete a language other than English in their final year at school.
