According to the VCAA, Modern Greek studies are not high on the agenda for VCE students, with only 277 students enrolled this year.
However, despite the low numbers, it is a slight increase from 2013’s recorded enrolments of 274 students.
The most popular languages in 2014 among VCE students were French at 1,869 enrolments, Chinese as a first language with 1,634 and Japanese as a second language with 1,014.
With Asian languages high on the government’s agenda and foreign minister Julie Bishop promoting the New Colombo Plan, an initiative granting Australian students the opportunity to study at Asian Universities, it’s not surprising to see two Asian languages in the top three.
