– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 3 January 2003.
Question S1W-32611
To ask the Scottish Executive what plans it has to increase the availability of opportunities throughout Scotland for adult non-native speakers to learn Gaelic.
The responsibility for the delivery of Gaelic to adult non-native speakers rests with education authorities and further and higher education institutions. The Scottish Executive provides direct funding to Gaelic bodies and institutions engaged in Gaelic education for adults, and education authorities may also bid into the specific grant scheme for this purpose. The Scottish Executive will be providing extra resources for Gaelic next year and will be looking to Bòrd Gàidhlig na h-Alba for advice on spending priorities.
