Victoria
The Victorian Government Languages Policy states that schools must provide a languages program from Foundation to Year 10 as a condition of their registration under legislation (the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic)). The program must be delivered by a Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registered teacher or staff with permission to teach.
