Headline Interview with Mr. John-Paul Langbroek, Minister of Education, Training and Employment in Queensland: Learn Japanese as foreign language subject - expecting to strengthen the bond with Japan

Media: Nihon Kyoiku Shimbun- Japan

Date 13/10/2014

Circulation : 230,000

Summary: Japan and Australia has been strengthening the bilateral relations mainly in economic area. Recently, human exchanges in the education area are also getting more active, as Australian Commonwealth Government announced "new Colombo Plan" to promote more university students in Australia to study or participates in internship programs in other Asia Pacific countries.

We interviewed Mr. John-Paul Langbroek, Minister of Education, Training and Employment in Queensland of Australia who visited Japan, about the current situation of the education in Queensland and the relationship with Japan for the future.

Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbot, raises the goal to increase the ratio of Year 12 students who study a foreign language to 40 percent by 2025.

Responding to this, Queensland government aims at lowering the age of students who start to learn a foreign language from current Year 6 to Year 1, and also aims at increasing the ratio of Year 12 students who study a foreign language to 15 percent by 2025.

This is because five percent of Year 12 students currently study a foreign language and there are remote towns dotted in the state which have challenges to secure the language teachers. This vast area of Queensland, which is 22 times of Japan’s, develops the remote online education system and makes it a good model for other states.

In Queensland, “50 percent of students learn Japanese as a foreign language. By offering opportunities for learning the language to younger students, we would like them to achieve a higher level of the language skill and help strengthen the tie with Japan.” said Minister.

He also said, as a multicultural society, "we welcome Japanese people and contribute to strengthen the relationship through education”.

This year, Queensland’s Department of Education, Training and Employment concluded the agreement with Eiken Foundation in Japan to adopt the Eiken grade for qualification to enter high schools in Queensland. With this agreement, the state will further engage in accepting more students from Japan which is strengthening the global human resource education.
