Summary:According to the 1970 teaching programme, which was the last one before the 1992 reform of secondary education, pupils in the vocational streams were exempt from learning a second foreign language. [...]it was the low number of pupils who had learnt a language other than English until the end of their final upper secondary school year that led the Swedish school authorities to implement compulsory second foreign language learning (SOU, 1992). [...]foreign language learning is now compulsory in all theoretical programmes as well as in several professionally oriented ones. [...]the influence of the French language and culture occurred when foreign language teaching was still provided only in private schools.
