Support Services for MLPSI Schools
In line with other curriculum support programmes, support to all MLPSI schools operates on a regional basis. Each region has an assigned member of the Regional Advisor team working across the four target languages of the Initiative. The Regional Advisors work to provide a support service which builds on the Initiative’s work to date and recognises the evolving needs of schools as they work towards developing a more integrated language policy and whole school approach to language teaching.
