Upon initial examination, it is noteworthy that Spanish remained in its primary position among students, while the remaining groups witnessed slight modifications.
In 2000, Spanish-speaking students ranked first among the other five languages with the highest proportion, at 30%, and increased further by 5% ten years later. By contrast, the figures for students with no other language and French students were reported to experience downward trends, both falling from 20% and 15%, respectively, to 10%.
Turning to the German sector, which underwent no upheaval, staying at 10% in both years. In addition, the percentage of students with two other languages underwent steady growth, jumping by 5%. Equally, the rate of students with another language was at 15% in 2000, but gradually rose to 20% in the next ten years.
