The Afghan girls I teach are heroes of resistance - and also teenage girls, noses curled in defiance. Shadmana is 15 and hates cooking.

AI can't make fresh metaphors. It can't make new connections, or show us some else's inner experience. Poems always win. Adiba lives in Afghanistan.

The National Consortium for Languages Education (NCLE) is proud to announce continued support from the DfE to expand our reach across the regions.

Through our evidence-based online learning platform, LEO, Language Educators Online, we will be supporting and developing the introduction of the revised Programme of Study for languages, refreshing and co-constructing our curriculum, working with our innovative and experienced Network Leads.
