WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 2nd FEBRUARY 2016

Question

Will the Minister advise members, using a table for each of the last five years, the number of pupils in each Jersey primary and secondary school whose first language was not English; the native language of those students; the number of additional staff appointed to teach those students English and the annual cost of supporting those students?

Answer

A pupil's first language is defined as the language that a child was exposed to during early development and continues to be exposed to in the home or community'. Many children start life with more than one language during early development (which may include English). Where a language other than English is recorded, the child is deemed to have English as an Additional Language (EAL). This is recorded irrespective of the child's proficiency in English.

The number of pupils (compulsory schools age or above) in States fee-paying and States non fee-paying schools that have English as an additional language (EAL)
