A total of 1,060 students in Manx schools are recorded as having English as a second language.
That's according to Education Minister Daphne Caine, who gave figures from December after a question in the House of Keys this week from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.
He wanted to know how many children in the Island's schools who recently arrived on the Island hadn't achieved basic English skills.
Mrs Caine explained her department didn't record when children had moved to the Island, and so she couldn't give the information:
