HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LEARNING ENGLISH IN X COUNTRY?
for children, the answer is often all children of secondary school age, so contact the Ministry of Education in X country, obtain the statistics and you have an answer for primary schools we have collated available information in our Worldwide survey Primary ELT, 1999-2000 If you want to know the contact details for a ministry of education, contact the British Council office in that country. for older people, the problem again comes down to gathering the statistics; people will be a mixture of those who learn English by self access, those who study in state institutions, those who study in a private centre that is affiliated to a national body and those who study in a non affiliated private centre.
