Language objection

Because of the reading knowledge requirement, many students have experienced considerable difficulty in completing their degrees, says Education Officer Caroline McGrath.

A petition is being circulated to ask for immediate reexamination of the compulsory foreign language requirement for B.A. and postgraduate science degrees.

Case histories are also being called for, Caroline says.
