An article in Het Financieele Dagblad reveals that young people's language skills are under pressure, A growing number of pupils and students are failing to reach the expected level for reading, writing, and speaking. This has consequences not only for education but also, in the next step, for the business world, where clear communication, strong writing skills, and effective collaboration are becoming increasingly important.
 
At STE Languages, we see daily the significant impact strong language skills have on interpersonal communication, professional success, self-confidence, and collaboration in the workplace. That is precisely why it is important that not only schools but also organisations continue to invest in language development. After all, language is not a side issue, but a foundation for functioning well in every sector. It is time to make language a top priority again.
