劍橋考試局擬取消粵語考試 華裔憂孩子無法學母語

據歐洲《星島日報》報導，出于有效配置資源和維系考試局運營的考
慮，英格蘭三大考試局之一劍橋考試局(OCR)正在對Asset
Languages資歷考試進行復核，擬將目前覆蓋的25種外語
削減至5種，粵語是20種可能被削減的外語之一。外語倡議人士發
起電子請願，旨在在包括粵語在內20種被削語種小區收集一萬個支
持者簽名。

Awarding organisation OCR announced plans in July to reduce its Asset Languages assessment scheme from 25 to only 5 languages from 2014 – cutting languages such as Cantonese, Hindi, Somali, Swedish, Tamil and Yoruba, for which no GCSE exists. This has in part been as a result of government policy not to recognise Asset Languages as contributing towards the English Baccalaureate and therefore school performance indicators.
