Consultation Response: Education (Scotland) Bill – Detailed call for views
Bòrd na Gàidhlig has submitted a response to the Scottish Government‘s public consultation on the Education (Scotland) Bill –Detailed call for views. Amongst the points raised, we said:
“Bòrd na Gàidhlig welcome the creation of Learner, Teacher and Practitioner Charters along with the requirement to consult in their preparation. This should include representatives from Gaelic-medium education to provide a voice for those who use and deliver qualifications and a mechanism for providing and receiving feedback. The Charters will be crucial for both strategy and operation in Qualifications Scotland, and it is crucial that these demonstrate equity for those involved in GME and be presented bilingually. The principle of active offer in the provision of public services is established best practice for minority languages.”
